📣 Broadcast Messaging

Flowbee Broadcast allows you to send messages to multiple customers at once using WhatsApp. It is designed to help businesses run marketing campaigns, send updates, and communicate with customers at scale — all while following Meta (WhatsApp) policies.

What is Broadcast?

Broadcast is a feature that lets you send a single message to multiple contacts simultaneously.

👉 Unlike normal chat:

  • Message is sent individually to each user
  • Customer sees it as a personal message

How Broadcast Works

  1. Upload or select contacts
  2. Choose an approved WhatsApp template
  3. Send broadcast
  4. Messages are delivered individually
  5. Customers can reply → conversation starts

  • 💰 Drive sales and promotions
  • ⏱️ Save time with bulk messaging
  • 🎯 Target specific customer groups
  • 📊 Track delivery and response

WhatsApp (Meta) Rules

Broadcast messaging follows strict Meta policies:

📩 Template-Based Messaging

  • You can only send approved templates

👉 Templates must be:

  • Follow content guidelines

⏱️ 24-Hour Rule
