12/29/2025, 6:20 AMHey!
I need to send masive WhatsApp campaigns and I wanted to know if this can be done using Botpress.
How I would like to do it is sometihng like this:
1. connect mi WABA to Botpress
2. selecting an approved WhatsApp template
3. uploading a csv with the phone numbers and the values of the variables for each campaign
4. send campagin
If someone knows if this is possible or if you know a different/better way to do it please let me know.
Thanks!

feel free to follow the guides above!
To accomplish this you can start by:
- Store the list of recipients and their template variables in a Table.
- Use an Execute Code card (or a custom action) to iterate over the list
for more info consult the WhatsApp docs!

12/31/2025, 3:58 PMThen you will need to create what's known as a template message, because it doesn't allow you to send custom messages to each person. Basically, you need to have a template message and then it fills in fields within that template message for each recipient. So, for example, if the template says "hello, and then name," it would fill in whoever's name is associated with that certain phone number when you upload the data to it.

And then when the recipient sends a message back after receiving the message, because the bot should be connected to that WhatsApp account already, then the bot will take over the conversation from there. So you can kind of use them to start conversations
