WhatsApp Campaign Best Practices for 2026
Template approval, consent management, and timing strategies that improve delivery and engagement.
Get templates approved early
WhatsApp requires pre-approved message templates for outbound marketing. Submit templates before you need them — approval can take 24–48 hours.
Use clear, concise language and include opt-out instructions where appropriate. Rejected templates delay campaigns and frustrate teams.
Respect consent and timing
Only message contacts who have opted in. Segment your audience and avoid batch sends at odd hours in the recipient timezone.
Track delivery and read receipts in OESCOM Connect analytics to refine send times and content over time.
