How do I add subscribers?
There are several ways to add contacts as subscribers.
- QR code / Integrated WA chatbot
When creating a campaign channel, you can set keywords for the contact to agree to or decline receiving your messages. The integrated bot is automatically activated when creating the channel.
You can provide your contacts with a click-to-chat link to your WhatsApp Campaigns Channel.
This link is structured as follows: https://wa.me/XXX, where "XXX" stands for a phone number in the complete international format (without zeroes, spaces, hyphens, etc.). An example: https://wa.me/491701234567
You can also add the specific first message for the customer directly into the link. Just add ?text=yourmessage to the link, for example
https://wa.me/491701234567?text=Hello
The customer than is not needing to type this message himself, however, he has to still send it manually by clickung the send button.
You can use this link to create a QR code for your customers, by referring to this tutorial.
