Starting from September 10, 2026, you can access the new interface for the WhatsApp campaign creation form. Learn more here.

Once this interface is available on your Qontak account, you can still access the old campaign creation page by clicking ‘Use previous version’ until a maximum of October 10, 2026.

You can also provide feedback on this new interface by clicking ‘Give feedback’.

The Campaign (Broadcast) menu is one of the features in the Chat Panel that allows users to send messages to many people at once. This feature is also commonly known as broadcast messages. Through campaigns, you don’t need to open the chat column for each contact to send them the same message. Moreover, the time required to send messages to many contacts becomes shorter and easier.

As of October 12, 2023, WhatsApp has implemented Template Pacing which may affect your broadcast campaigns. Learn more here
