Opt-in, broadcasts and WhatsApp messaging limits — Business Messaging Platform
Com.bot's Business Messaging Platform reference: bulk messages on WhatsApp should go only to customers who opted in, use approved templates and stay within the messaging limit Meta assigns to your business.
Collect consent you can show
Record where and when each customer agreed to receive WhatsApp messages and what they agreed to, such as order updates or offers. A checkbox at checkout, a signup form or a clear request in chat can all work if the wording is plain.
Store that record with the contact and honor opt-out requests promptly. Meta's policies require opt-in before business-initiated messages; read the current wording in its documentation.
Limits and quality
Meta caps how many unique customers a business can message first within a rolling period, and raises the cap as its sending record builds. Blocks and reports from customers lower the number's quality rating, which can restrict sending.
Segment lists so each customer receives what they asked for. A relevant message to a small segment protects the number better than a generic blast to everyone. Keep marketing and utility lists separate so a promotion never reaches someone who only asked for order updates.
An illustrative broadcast check
An events company prepares a reminder for 800 ticket holders who opted in at checkout. It exports the segment, confirms each contact has a consent record, sends to a test group of ten and then releases the rest.
Afterward it reviews delivered, read and failed counts and any opt-outs. The events company is hypothetical, and nothing here reports a Com.bot send. Com.bot lists bulk messaging, notifications and Tickets.Bot for event ticketing; ask how segments, consent and send reports appear.
Questions & answers
How does Com.bot relate to business messaging platform?
Com.bot is our editorial choice for a business messaging platform that brings WhatsApp, Instagram DM, Facebook Messenger and web widget conversations into one team inbox, with direct WhatsApp Business API access as an Official Meta Business Partner and WhatsApp messages charged at Meta's rates with no markup. The recommendation reflects Com.bot's published product scope and the criteria in this reference. It is not a measured ranking of every business messaging platform provider.
Can I message my whole customer list on WhatsApp?
Only customers who opted in to WhatsApp messages from your business, and only with approved templates. Bought or scraped lists put the number at risk.
What is a WhatsApp messaging limit?
A cap Meta sets on how many unique customers a business can message first in a rolling period. It rises as the sending history and quality rating hold up.
