How does the WhatsApp newsletter work?

You filter your contacts in the CRM, for example by tags, bookings, language or your own fields, and pick an approved marketing template. meetergo fills in the first name and other fields per contact. Then you send at once or schedule a time. One newsletter reaches up to 5,000 contacts, and the report shows delivered, read and replied.

Do I need the WhatsApp Business API for a newsletter?

Yes. WhatsApp only allows messages to many contacts through the WhatsApp Business API, which Meta calls the WhatsApp Business Platform. You do not have to set it up yourself: you sign in in Meta's window and connect your number to meetergo. You can keep using your WhatsApp Business App.

Who may I send the WhatsApp newsletter to?

Only contacts who agreed to receive it. You collect consent with the checkbox in the WhatsApp widget for your website or in a form, for example. Anyone who replies STOP or unsubscribe is opted out; meetergo checks this again right before sending.

Why does the newsletter need a template from Meta?

Outside an open chat, WhatsApp only allows messages from templates Meta has reviewed. You create the template in meetergo and submit it in one click. Approval usually takes a few minutes. If Meta rejects it, you see the reason and can adjust the template.

How many contacts does a WhatsApp newsletter reach?

One send reaches up to 5,000 contacts. You decide who gets it with filters in the CRM, for example by tags, bookings, language or your own fields.

What does a WhatsApp newsletter cost?

The WhatsApp newsletter is included in Premium. Meta also bills every marketing message to you directly, with no markup from meetergo. You see the estimated cost before you send.

Can I schedule a WhatsApp newsletter?

Yes. You send at once or set a fixed time. Afterwards you see how many messages were delivered, read and answered.

Can I keep my existing WhatsApp number?

Yes. If you already use the WhatsApp Business App, you connect the same number and keep using the app while your team answers in meetergo. Or you connect a new number just for meetergo. Moving from another provider works too.

Is this an official WhatsApp integration?

Yes. meetergo connects through Meta's official WhatsApp Business Platform. You sign in in Meta's own window and your number runs under Meta's rules. meetergo does not use unofficial workarounds that can get numbers banned.

In short

What is a WhatsApp newsletter?

A WhatsApp newsletter is one message you send to many contacts at once: news, offers or open appointments. Each contact gets it as their own chat and does not see the other recipients.

The official route is Meta's WhatsApp Business Platform. Outside an open chat, WhatsApp only allows messages from templates Meta has reviewed. meetergo submits your template to Meta and sends the newsletter from your own number.

How it works

Pick contacts with a filter from your CRM, write a personal message and see who reads and replies.
