How do you schedule WhatsApp posts with PlatPost?

What you need to post to WhatsApp

Messages from your WhatsApp Business number.

Open Connected Channels and press Connect next to WhatsApp. You sign in on WhatsApp itself. PlatPost never sees your password.

How to schedule a WhatsApp post

The steps are the same for every network.

1. Connect your WhatsApp account in Connected Channels.
2. Open Create, type one idea and pick a tone. PlatPost writes three drafts in your own voice.
3. Edit the drafts, fill any gap, and keep the ones you like.
4. Drag a kept draft onto a day on the calendar and tick WhatsApp.
5. Set the time. PlatPost posts it then, and the calendar shows that it went out.

WhatsApp limits that PlatPost checks

The text limit PlatPost uses for WhatsApp is 4,096 characters. The composer counts as you type.

A WhatsApp post can be text alone. You can add an image or a video from the media studio.

Post to WhatsApp and your other networks together

One idea can go to WhatsApp and to any of the other 15 networks in the same step. Each post is written for its network, never one text copied across.

When you tick more than one network, the composer counts against the tightest limit, so the post fits everywhere you send it.

The route PlatPost uses

PlatPost posts to WhatsApp through the route the network approves for apps. It never uses scraping or a copied browser session, because that can get an account restricted.
