How to sell on WhatsApp in your launch (with the official API)

Email opens around 20% of the time. WhatsApp is read over 90%. In a launch, where every hour of open cart counts, that gap is the difference between a good result and an extraordinary one. The challenge is doing it at scale without getting your account banned.

Why WhatsApp converts more

It's the closest channel you have with your audience: instant, personal and with read rates no other medium matches. In the closing phase, a WhatsApp reminder recovers sales email would never have rescued.

Regular WhatsApp vs the official API

  • Regular or Business WhatsApp: fine for small volumes, but mass sends trigger bans.
  • Official API: built for scale, with approved templates, metrics and multi-agent.
  • The API lets you automate sends, chatbots and support from several people on the same number.
  • It's the only sustainable path for a launch with thousands of contacts.

Use cases in a launch

  • Confirmation and reminders for your webinar or live class.
  • Cart open and close alerts with a direct purchase link.
  • Abandoned-cart recovery in minutes, not days.
  • Objections handled by an AI agent or your team, 24/7.

How to avoid bans

  • Always use the official API for mass sends, never a personal number.
  • Warm up the number gradually instead of blasting everything at once.
  • Work with approved templates and respect WhatsApp's policies.
  • Rely on serious platforms: we represent Sendflow and Unnichat.
