The mistake: sending today’s fish special to every number saved in the manager’s phone.

Meta limits the number, or blocks templates, when too many people report or ignore messages they did not ask for. A software tool cannot switch that off.

Do this instead

Confirm bookings individually. Send specials only to guests who opted in.

  • Booking updates and reminders go to people who already have a booking.
  • Offers go to people who opted in, on a marketing template.
  • Stop messaging anyone who asks you to stop.

Team chat and campaigns on WaBot start at ₹840/month + GST. Meta’s message fees are separate, and WaBot does not add a markup. See plans.

Use the official number, and only message people who should hear from you.

Frequently asked questions

Will a green tick stop restrictions?

No. Meta’s official badge is not a shield. Messaging people who didn’t opt in can still limit the account.

Is a WhatsApp group safer than a broadcast?

A group exposes every member’s phone number. It is not a substitute for an opted-in list.

Can WaBot send to any list I upload?

You can import contacts you have permission to message. A purchased list is how accounts get restricted, on any tool.
