What are Campaigns?

Landbot brings your campaigns into the most engaging channel there is, using rich content, automation, and personalization🀩

Reach your audience with segmented WhatsApp Campaigns, engage existing customers, and keep the conversation going!

Messaging Limits

Unverified businesses are limited to 250 business-initiated conversations in a rolling 24-hour period.

Verified businesses with a business phone number with an approved display name can initiate conversations with the following number of unique customers in a rolling 24-hour period:

  • 1K unique customer
  • 10K unique customers
  • 100K unique customers
  • An unlimited number of unique customers

Contact Subscribed users proactively

Using WhatsApp Campaigns you can reach out to the users that have made the Opt-in (subscribed), accepting to be contacted proactively by you.

You can send proactive messages to a defined segment of your subscribers, decide which message to send, when to send it, and if this message will trigger a WhatsApp bot.

Check this article to find more information about how to get Subscribers (Opt-ins) to your WhatsApp πŸš€
Use Message Templates

With Campaigns you can start the conversation again with your subscribed users, notifying them about something relevant to the services you provide.

And to start this conversation with your subscribers, you must use Message Templates, so make sure to have them approved by WhatsApp before starting a new Campaign πŸ˜‰

How to create a Campaign

Once you're in the Campaigns section, click on the button New campaign to create a new one:

Campaign setup:

  1. Give a Name to your campaign:
  1. Choose the Audience you want to send the campaign to:

The audience must be created previously in the Audiences section of your WhatsApp channel.

Check this article for more information about the Audiences section
  1. Set the Content of your campaign:
  • Choose one of the approved Message Templates that you want to send to your audience:
Note: For more information about Message Templates and how to request them, please refer to this article.

If you have parameters in your message template, once it's chosen, you'll see specific fields to add values to them. You can add variables (dynamic value) by adding @ symbol and the variable's name (for example, @name), or you can add just plain text (static value):

  • (Optional) You can also choose the bot that will be linked to your campaign so that when your subscribers respond to the Message Template that you chose, this specific bot will be triggered, instead of the main bot of your WhatsApp channel (Parent bot):

For more information about linking the bot to your WhatsApp channel, please check this article.

  1. Add Custom Variables to the audience:

(Optional) You can add and set new variables for the campaign’s users and re-use them into a chatbot flow, or when creating new audiences:

  1. Schedule the campaign:

There are 2 options:

  • Launch the campaign immediately so that it's sent once you click on the Trigger campaign button;
  • Set a custom date and time for the launch.
The timezone is based on your browser's settings, so if your users are from other countries, you'll need to calculate the hour based on their timezone!
  1. That's it! Save your campaign as a draft in case you're still not ready to launch it or Trigger the campaign right awayπŸš€
Edit a Campaign

If you have created a campaign but didn't launch it yet (saved as a draft or scheduled for a future date), you will still be able to edit all the settings.

However, if your campaign was already launched, it will not be able to change any of the settings.

Once you click on "All users" you'll see a list of your subscribers, that you can filter by variables:

You can use the date range filter to contact all your subscribers, who interacted with your WhatsApp bot for the first time, for example, during the current month. This filter is based on the @date_registered variable:

You can decide, for example, to send your campaign only to a part of your audience which is a certain age or from a certain country.

To be able to do that, you need to ask your users their age or where they're from in your Opt-in bot and collect the relative variables (for example @age, @country).

  1. Set the Content of your campaign:
