  • You need at least one approved message template
  • Your contacts must be imported into Baat

Creating a broadcast #

  2. Click New Broadcast
  3. Select audience — choose contacts individually, from a segment, or upload a list
  4. Select template — pick an approved WhatsApp template from the dropdown
  5. Configure send time — send immediately or schedule for a specific date and time
  6. Review the summary and click Send (or Schedule)

  • Draft — Saved but not yet sent
  • Pending — Currently being sent
