Caveats of WhatsApp Proactive Messaging

Learn about the caveats of WhatsApp proactive messaging, including opt-in permissions and quality ratings.

What are the caveats of using WhatsApp proactive messaging?

When using WhatsApp proactive messaging, it's important to follow WhatsApp's policies and guidelines, including obtaining opt-in permissions from users. Failing to adhere to these guidelines can result in your number being flagged.

To ensure compliance, you must receive explicit opt-in permission from users before sending them messages. This opt-in should clearly state your business name and confirm that the user agrees to receive messages from you on WhatsApp. Additionally, keep an eye on your quality rating, which reflects how well your messages are received by customers. A low quality rating can lead to your number being flagged or restricted. For more details, check out theoriginal link.
