How to Set Up a Scheduled Broadcast โ€” Step by Step

1

Go to Scheduled Broadcast

From the left sidebar, click on WhatsApp & Communication โ†’ Scheduled Broadcast. This opens the Blast Campaigns page where all your broadcast campaigns are managed.

2

Click "Create New" to start a campaign

On the Blast Campaigns page, click the CREATE NEW button at the top. A popup will appear asking you to enter a Campaign Name and an optional description. Name it something recognisable โ€” for example, the project or product you are promoting. Then click CREATE.

3

Import your contact list

Once your campaign is created, click the IMPORT CONTACTS button at the top. An import window will appear. You have two ways to add contacts:

  • Paste contact list directly โ€” type or paste names and phone numbers in the format shown (Name + phone number), then click PROCESS DATA
  • Upload Excel file โ€” click UPLOAD EXCEL to import a spreadsheet of contacts

Once processed, your contacts will appear in the campaign list showing name, phone number, status, and scheduled time.

4

Create your message template

On the right side panel, you will see the Message List section. Click the + blue button (Step 1) to add a new message. A "Sample Message" template will appear (Step 2) โ€” click on it and change the text to your actual blast message (Step 3).

  • You can create multiple message templates in one campaign
  • Use Attached Files to upload images, videos, or documents to send along with your message
  • Use the Dynamic Placeholders โ€” click NAME or PHONE to automatically personalise the message with the customer's name or phone number. For example: "Hi {name}, we have exciting news for you!" โ€” FEAI will replace {name} with each customer's actual name when sending
5

Click Schedule to send

Once your contacts are imported and your message is ready, click the orange SCHEDULE button at the top right. A popup will appear with two options:

  • Send Now โ€” click SEND NOW to blast the message to all contacts immediately
  • Schedule for Later โ€” choose a specific date and time to send, then click SCHEDULE SEND. FEAI will send automatically at that time โ€” even if you are offline or have closed the page
6

Restart campaign for a new contact list

Once your campaign is completed, you can reuse the same campaign for a new batch of contacts. Click the three-dot menu (โ‹ฎ) at the top right of your campaign, then click Restart Campaign.

  • After restarting, import your new contact list
  • Old contacts that have already been sent to can be deleted to keep your list clean
  • This saves you from creating a new campaign every time โ€” just restart and reuse
