How to forward/Bulk_send a message to more than 5 contacts on WhatsApp

WhatsApp became the world’s most popular messaging application in 2015 and has 2+ Billion users by 2022. When it comes to virtual communication WhatsApp is the first option for personal and business needs.

For startups / large companies, WhatsApp is the lead generation and sales generation tool since this is the most used communication channel. Considering this WhatsApp Business has evolved with many features.

Even though WhatsApp/ Business is bringing new features in each update it still has some limitations, allowing users to forward messages to only 5 contacts is one among them. Allowing forwarding/sharing content to only 5 people at a time wastes user time whether it’s for personal use or for official use.

As a solution, you can use WhatsApp groups and broadcasts but there

1. You need to create them by adding contacts or links
2. You can’t personalise
3. If you want to exclude one person from a message you need to remove that contact and add it again
4. and a lot more

The plugins like Wasender and WA Self Sender bring a solution for the same along with many others like

1. Send bulk messages including attachments
2. Personalisation — Name Customized Msgs to multiple contacts
3. Creating your own chat-bot
4. Downloading msg sent/failed reports
5. WhatsApp Number Filter

The basic services are free and others are premium.

Plugin Setup

1. Install the plugin

2. Pin the plugin to the chrome menu bar for easy use

3. Open https://web.whatsapp.com/

5. Click on the plugin icon on the menu bar

6. That’s It, now use whatever service you want

Plugin / Extension limitations

1. Most of them are supported only in chrome

From personal experience, I would suggest these plugins as the best option for bulk message sending, and for Digital Marketers bulk sending would act as a direct communicator and these plugins help our content to get more visibility.
