Using WaCloud won’t cause a ban as it’s essentially a WhatsApp Web session from WhatsApp’s perspective, but it’s crucial to follow certain guidelines to minimize the risk of getting banned. Here are some tips to ensure you stay within WhatsApp’s policies:
1. Pace Your Messages
Avoid sending messages too quickly, as this can trigger WhatsApp’s anti-spam mechanisms. If you’re using Campaigns or the API to send messages to multiple numbers, start with no more than 12 messages per hour—equivalent to sending one message every 5 minutes. This approach helps you stay under WhatsApp’s radar and reduces the chances of being flagged as spam.
2. Warm Up Your Number
When using a new number, it’s vital to “warm it up” before engaging in bulk messaging. Start by having natural, back-and-forth conversations with your contacts to build trust and establish a legitimate communication pattern. This reassures WhatsApp that your number is being used for genuine purposes. Avoid running multiple campaigns or sending bulk messages simultaneously from the same number, as this could raise suspicions and lead to a ban.
3. Avoid Spam Reports
Multiple spam reports can lead to a ban, even if you follow other precautions. To avoid this, ensure that your messages are relevant, personalized, and valuable to your recipients. Also, could you encourage your customers to add your WhatsApp Business number as a contact? This reduces the likelihood of them marking your messages as spam.
By adhering to these guidelines, you can use WaCloud effectively while minimizing the risk of account bans.
