WhatsApp number banned broadcast
How to send WhatsApp broadcasts without getting your number banned
By the Scriwo team · · 5 min read
The short answer
Message only people who opted in, send in small paced batches rather than all at once, keep each message relevant and personal, and stop immediately if many people block or report you. No tool can guarantee a number will never be restricted, but these habits make it far less likely.
Why numbers get restricted
WhatsApp watches for behaviour that looks like spam: many messages to people who never saved your number, identical text sent at machine speed, and recipients who block or report you.
Five rules we build into Scriwo
- Opt-in only. Scriwo sends broadcasts only to contacts marked as opted in.
- Pacing. Messages leave with delays between them, the way a person would send them.
- Relevance. Segment by what people asked about. A Diwali offer to last year's Diwali buyers, not to everyone.
- An easy way out. Tell people how to stop receiving messages, and honour it.
- Warm numbers. A new number should talk to customers normally for a while before it sends any campaign.
If a number is restricted
Stop all campaigns from it, follow WhatsApp's in-app review steps, and keep serving existing conversations from other teammates' numbers in the shared inbox.
