How a campaign works
Create a campaign step by step
1
Go to Campaigns
Click Campaigns in the left menu and click New Campaign.
2
Name your campaign
Give it an internal name (e.g. “Diwali Sale 2024”) — customers never see this.
3
Choose a template
Select a pre-approved WhatsApp message template.
4
Choose your audience
Pick a Segment (e.g. “All Wholesale Customers”).
5
Send or schedule
Click Send Now to send immediately, or set a future date and time.
6
Confirm
StoreTalk queues and sends all messages for you.
Campaign best practices
Do
- Send for genuine reasons: offers, order updates, reminders
- Only message contacts who have interacted with your business
- Use your brand name so customers recognise you
- Personalise with the customer’s name using template variables
Don't
- Send unsolicited messages to cold numbers — accounts get banned
- Send the same campaign to the same people multiple times in a week
- Use misleading template text just to get approval
- Send to opted-out contacts (StoreTalk blocks this automatically)
