Create a broadcast

A broadcast sends one approved template message to many contacts at once. Each recipient receives it as a normal one-to-one WhatsApp message — they cannot see anyone else on the list.

Before you start​

Send a broadcast​

  1. Log in to the Voixt Dashboard and open WhatsApp → Broadcasts.
  2. Click Create Broadcast.
  3. Give the broadcast an internal name — recipients never see this.
  4. Select the audience. Apply filters to narrow it down.
  5. Choose your approved template.
  6. Fill in parameter values. Map each {{1}}, {{2}} to a contact field such as name or city — see Use parameters.
  7. Preview the message exactly as a customer will see it.
  8. Send now, or schedule it for later.

Preview before every send​

The preview renders your template with real values from a sample contact. Check that:

  • Every parameter resolves. A blank value turns Hello {{1}}, into Hello ,.
  • The message reads naturally at its longest realistic length.
  • Buttons and links work and point where you intend.
  • The audience count is what you expected.

Watch the send​

While a broadcast runs, WhatsApp → Broadcasts shows live counts for sent, delivered, read, and failed messages. Replies arrive in the Inbox and open a 24-hour service window with that customer.

Best practices​

  • Send a test broadcast to yourself and one colleague before the real one.
  • Start with your most engaged segment. Early engagement protects your quality rating.
  • Do not message the same person in two campaigns the same week.
  • Schedule for a sensible local hour. A 2 AM promotion earns blocks.
  • Review Insights afterwards and feed what you learn into the next send.
