Campaign ​

The Send New Campaign allows users to send WhatsApp messages to targeted recipients using pre-approved templates from the WhatsApp Cloud API. Campaigns can be personalized, filtered by contact type (Leads or Contacts), and scheduled to send now or at a future time — perfect for marketing, billing, or updates.

Step 1: Campaign Creation Interface ​

campaign

Interface Components ​

1. Campaign Name ​

  • This is a required text field where you provide a name for your campaign.
  • Example: Business campaign, July Invoice Batch, Lead Follow-up.

2. Relation Type ​

  • Choose the audience type for the campaign:
    • Lead: Target users categorized as leads.
    • Contact: Target users categorized as existing contacts or customers.

3. Template ​

  • Select a WhatsApp-approved message template from the dropdown.
  • Example shown: rise_send_invoice (en_US)
  • Templates contain placeholders like [variable 1], [variable 2] which will be dynamically filled using a CSV file or input later in the campaign process.

Live Preview ​

  • Shows how the message will appear to recipients.
  • Variables (e.g. [variable 1]) are placeholders for dynamic values like customer name, invoice amount, due date, etc.

Example preview: Hello [variable 1], Thank you for your business cooperation. Your invoice for the project has been generated and is attached here. Invoice amount is [variable 2] Please pay this invoice within [variable 3].

4. Scheduled Send Time ​

  • Choose whether to send the message immediately or schedule it for later.
  • If you leave this empty, the campaign won't be scheduled until manually triggered.

5. Send Time Control ​

  • Toggle option: Ignore Scheduled Time and Send Now
    • If enabled, the campaign will be sent instantly, bypassing the scheduling configuration.

Campaign Summary (Top Right Indicators) ​

  • Recipients: Number of contacts the message will be sent to (e.g., 1005).
  • Template: Selected WhatsApp template (e.g., rise_send_invoice).
  • Status: Current state of the campaign (e.g., Draft).
  • Send Time: Indicates whether the message is set to be sent immediately or scheduled.

Step 2: Contact Selection ​

campaign

After selecting your campaign template in Step 1, the next step is to choose who will receive your message. You can send it to all your contacts or filter them by status, source, or manually select specific ones.

Contact Selection Panel ​

Select All Contacts ​

  • Enabling this option will automatically include all matching contacts in the campaign.
  • This disables manual filtering and selection and is ideal for broadcast campaigns.

Filter Options ​

Use the dropdowns to filter contacts based on their status or source:

1. Status Options ​

Select the current lifecycle stage of your contacts:

  • New – Recently added contacts
  • Qualified – Leads that meet your qualification criteria
  • In Progress – Leads currently being engaged
  • Contracted – Contacts that have signed an agreement or purchase
  • Closed – Completed or dropped interactions

2. Source Options ​

Identify where your contacts came from:

  • Facebook – Contacts acquired through Facebook campaigns
  • WhatsApp – Contacts obtained directly via WhatsApp conversations or entry points

These filters help you create highly targeted and personalized campaigns.

Select Specific Contacts ​

  • Use the search bar to find contacts by name or keyword.
  • Manually select individual contacts using checkboxes.
  • Use "Select All Listed" to bulk-select filtered contacts.
  • Selected count is shown in the top-right (e.g., 1 Selected).

In this example, CTL development Team has been selected, and is marked as Active.

Live Preview ​

The preview panel on the right shows a real-time display of your message. Placeholders like:

  • [variable 1] — Customer name or reference
  • [variable 2] — Invoice amount
  • [variable 3] — Payment due duration

These will be filled in Step 3 using a variables file.

  • Click Previous to go back to Basic Information.
  • Click Next to proceed to Step 3: Variables Files, where you upload the dynamic data (CSV or Excel).

💡 Tip: Use filters to avoid sending irrelevant messages and ensure your campaign reaches the right audience with the right message.

Step 3: Variables and Files ​

campaign

This step allows you to personalize your message by assigning values to variables used in the selected WhatsApp template. These variables replace placeholders like [variable 1], [variable 2], and so on.

Body Variables ​

Under the Body Variables section, you will map real values to the dynamic placeholders used in your WhatsApp message template.

Each field corresponds to a variable used in the message body and is numbered accordingly (e.g., 1, 2, 3).

Example from the image: ​

Body VariableValueReplaces in Message
1@{contact_first_name}Replaces [variable 1]
2200$Replaces [variable 2] – Invoice amount
35 daysReplaces [variable 3] – Payment period

✅ Whatever value you type in the Body Variable input fields will instantly update the Live Preview on the right side, reflecting how the message will appear to the recipient.

How It Works ​

  • The variable values can be typed manually (for one-off messages) or uploaded via a CSV file in the next step if you are sending personalized messages to many recipients.
  • Use @merge fields such as @{contact_first_name} to insert dynamic CRM/contact data.

Step 4: Scheduling ​

The final step before launching your WhatsApp campaign is choosing when to send it. You can either send the campaign immediately or schedule it for a future date and time.

Scheduling Options ​

Send Immediately ​

  • When selected, the campaign will be sent right after creation.
  • Ideal for urgent messages or real-time updates.
  • Labeled as "Instant Delivery".

💬 Use this when you want to quickly reach your contacts without delay.

Schedule for Later ​

  • Allows you to pick a specific date and time to send your campaign.
  • Useful for:
    • Campaigns tied to events or promotions
    • Reaching customers during optimal engagement times
    • Avoiding off-hours communication

Ensure your system time and timezone settings are correctly configured for accurate scheduling.

Live Preview ​

The right panel continuously shows how your message will look to the recipient, using the variables you’ve configured in Step 3.

Hello @{contact_first_name}, Thank you for your business cooperation. Your invoice for the project has been generated and is attached here. Invoice amount is 200$ Please pay this invoice within 5 days. Thanks

For full compatibility, refer to the official Supported Media Types from Meta.

Document-Based Campaign Template ​

campaign

In this step, you can upload a document file that will be shown in the header of the message preview, along with custom body content using variables.

Uploaded Document ​

  • File Name: INV202506-000003 (1).pdf
  • Status: ✅ Uploaded Successfully
  • Allowed Document Types: .pdf, .doc, .docx, .txt, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, .pptx
  • Max File Size: 100MB

Body Variables ​

You can personalize your campaign content using variables. These variables will dynamically replace the corresponding placeholders in the message body preview.

Variable NumberPlaceholder Value
1Mumbai
2Goa
3Jul 20, 2025

These values are rendered in the preview like this:

This is your flight confirmation for Mumbai → Goa on Jul 20, 2025

Live Preview ​

  • The document file appears as an attachment header in the preview.
  • The body message displays the inserted variables clearly.
  • This preview shows how your final message will appear to recipients.

⚠️ This message is from an unverified business.

Tip ​

Use @ notation when referencing variables in the template body to match them with the values entered in this section.

Using Merge Fields in Campaign Messages ​

campaign

You can personalize your campaign messages using merge fields. These fields allow dynamic data insertion, such as the lead’s name, status, or email.

How It Works ​

  • In the Body Variables section, type @ in a variable input field.
  • A dropdown will appear showing available merge fields.
  • Select the appropriate field from the list based on your campaign relation (Customers or Leads).

Example Merge Fields ​

  • Contact First Name
  • Lead Status
  • Lead Source
  • Company Email
  • Base URL
  • Lead Assigned
  • Dark Logo / Light Logo

Example Message Preview ​

This is how the message appears using variables and merge fields:

Hello @Lead Status,

Thank you for your business cooperation.

Your invoice for the project has been generated and is attached here.

Invoice amount is [variable 2]

Please pay this invoice within [variable 3]

Thanks

Tip ​

  • If Customers is selected as the relation type, you'll see customer-related fields.
  • If Leads is selected, you'll see lead-specific fields like status, source, etc.

This helps tailor each message for the right audience—automatically.
