1. Go to WhatsApp Bot Manager from the BotSailor’s dashboard.
2. Select Message Template, then click on the Create button and select WP Message Template.
3. Provide a name to the template and select the Locale.
4. In the message body, some variables need to be used for the Blog Title and Blog URL. These variables can be selected from the drop-down menu located above the message body.
5. We can also use CTA button or Quick replies in the Message Template.
6. Save the template. And then click on the Sync option to check if the Message template is approved by Meta or not. If It’s approved, we can use this template to send the Broadcasting message.

Install a Plugin called Content Automator by BotSailor on your WordPress site:

After creating the message template, we need to go to our WordPress website and install a plugin there. The plugin can be downloaded from the BotSailor website. Just go to the WhatsApp Broadcasting from the BotSailor’s dashboard; there is a button to download the plugin. Just click on it to download the plugin.

After downloading the plugin, just install the plugin and activate it on the WordPress website. After installing the plugin, an option will be available in the settings. Click on settings and select BS Content Automator.

Set up the Campaign on WordPress Site:

It will open the settings module. There we need to add the BotSailor API key and save it. To get the BotSailor API Key, go to BotSailor dashboard and then click on the profile and select API Developer options.

1. Copy the API Key and paste it on the WordPress.
2. Click on the Save API Key and Select WhatsApp Account
3. Select the WhatsApp account from the dropdown list.
4. We can select a label to broadcast the message to a particular label only. Keep it blank to broadcast for all your subscribers.
5. Click on the Save account and Select WhatsApp Template
