WhatsApp Sequence Campaigns in BotSailor allow you to automate follow-up messaging for your users after they interact with your bot. Unlike Messenger, WhatsApp applies strict rules on message delivery—particularly outside the 24-hour user interaction window. To comply with Meta’s policy, BotSailor allows you to use WhatsApp message templates for sequences beyond 24 hours.
This guide walks you through creating a WhatsApp Sequence Campaign using template messages, and how to properly configure triggers, delays, and compliance settings.
First Message
Second Message
Third Message (Outside 24-Hour)
⚠️ You must use a template for messages outside the 24-hour window.
💳 Meta charges per template message, so make sure your payment method is configured.
Screenshots confirm successful delivery of each message based on timing.
WhatsApp Sequences in BotSailor are a powerful way to maintain communication with your users over time while staying compliant with Meta’s strict policies. By combining time-based automation with approved templates, you can build structured communication flows that nurture leads, educate users, and improve engagement.
Remember, any sequence message sent after 24 hours must use an approved template and will incur charges from Meta. Plan and test your flow carefully to ensure a smooth experience.
Why do I need to use a template after 24 hours?
Meta requires templates for any message sent after 24 hours of last user interaction to avoid spam and maintain policy standards.
Can I use normal text for messages within 24 hours?
Yes, you can send freeform text without needing a template if it’s within the 24-hour window.
How do I configure payment for WhatsApp template messages?
Go to your WhatsApp Business Account settings in Meta’s dashboard and add your payment method.
What’s the maximum delay I can schedule a message?
You can schedule messages up to 30 days from the subscription event.
Can I test this without waiting real hours?
Currently, timing is based on real-time hours. For quick testing, use shorter intervals like 1 minute during debugging (if supported).
