Can Reply To

For UAE and GCC businesses, WhatsApp is the channel customers open. The question is whether you can broadcast at scale without putting your number at risk. Unofficial tools and modified WhatsApp Web scrapers do it cheap and get accounts banned.

Zena bulk broadcasting runs on the official Meta WhatsApp Business Cloud API. Campaigns use approved templates, personalisation variables and delivery receipts to keep your team informed. Manage sends and customer replies in one workspace, with AED billing and zero Zena markup on Meta message fees.

Everything You Need to Run
WhatsApp Campaigns at Scale

Built for UAE businesses planning WhatsApp campaigns around opted-in audiences, approved templates and sending limits.

CSV and Google Sheets Audience

Upload your contact list as a CSV or connect a Google Sheet directly. Zena reads your columns, maps them to personalisation variables, and builds the audience for review before you send. No database export, no developer, no format gymnastics. Build the audience from your connected Sheet, or configure a Sheet auto-trigger to pick up eligible new rows.

Dynamic Personalisation

Every recipient gets a message that feels written for them. Map available CSV or Google Sheet columns to variables such as name, company, amount due or appointment date. Each queued recipient receives the version prepared from their mapped details. Mass reach with a one-to-one feel.

Rich Media Broadcasts

Send images, PDFs, and videos alongside your message text. Product catalogues, promotional flyers, event invitations, property brochures, clinic schedules, all delivered as WhatsApp messages that open natively on the phone without leaving the chat. No links, no redirects, no friction.

Campaign Scheduling

Schedule broadcasts to send at the exact date and time you want. Ramadan offers before Iftar. Flash sale alerts at peak browsing hours. Appointment reminders 24 hours before. Set it once and let it run automatically.

Delivery and Read Tracking

See exactly how many messages were sent, delivered, and read for every broadcast. Per-contact delivery status shows the recorded sent, delivered, read or failed milestone for each recipient. Real data you can use to improve the next campaign.

Template-Based Sending

All WhatsApp broadcasts use Meta-approved message templates. Zena lets you create, submit, and manage your template library directly from the dashboard. Once approved by Meta, templates are ready to use in any broadcast immediately.

Replies into Shared Inbox

Every reply to a broadcast message lands directly in your shared WhatsApp team inbox in real time. Agents pick up conversations, assign them, and respond personally. Enable the AI chatbot to handle routine follow-ups automatically.

Number Reputation Protection

Sending to unverified or cold contacts destroys your WhatsApp number reputation fast. Use contacts who have opted in. Saved-contact audiences exclude contacts marked as opted out; review consent before importing CSV or Sheet recipients. Review audience consent, message relevance and account quality as you plan each campaign.

Use Cases

UAE Businesses That Send
WhatsApp Campaigns Every Week

Any UAE business with a contact list and something to say should be using WhatsApp bulk broadcasting.

Retail and E-commerce

UAE retailers use WhatsApp broadcasts for flash sale alerts, new arrival announcements, seasonal promotions, and loyalty reward reminders. Send a product image with a personalised discount code to every customer who bought in the last 90 days. Replies asking about sizes or availability go straight to your team inbox for immediate response.

Real Estate

Dubai real estate agencies send new listing alerts to qualified buyer lists, open house invitations to registered leads, and price reduction notifications to interested prospects. Each message personalised with the contact name and property details from a Google Sheet.

Healthcare and Clinics

UAE clinics use WhatsApp broadcasts for appointment reminders, health screening campaign announcements, post-visit follow-up messages, and seasonal health tips. Send personalised appointment confirmations with the doctor name, date, time, and location from your appointment sheet. Give patients the appointment details they need and a clear route to contact your clinic.

F&B and Hospitality

Restaurants and hotels in Dubai broadcast Ramadan Iftar reservation openings, weekend special menus, loyalty member exclusive offers, and event announcements. A personalised WhatsApp message with a menu image puts the offer inside a conversation guests can reply to. Replies go to the reservations team inbox in real time.

Education and Training

UAE training centres and schools send course enrolment reminders, exam schedule notifications, fee payment reminders, and new course announcements via WhatsApp broadcast. Personalise each message with the student name, course name, and due date from your enrolment spreadsheet.

Logistics and Freight

UAE logistics companies broadcast shipment arrival notifications, customs clearance updates, and delivery schedule confirmations to importers and warehouse managers. Clients get proactive updates on WhatsApp, giving them a reference to check before calling the office.

FAQ

Bulk Broadcasting Common Questions

How many contacts can I broadcast to at once on WhatsApp?
Starter includes 15,000 broadcast recipient sends per month. Growth and Business have no Zena monthly broadcast cap. Meta still controls your account's messaging limits and delivery eligibility; check the allowance shown for your number before planning a campaign. Contacts must have opted in to receive messages.
Does WhatsApp bulk broadcasting require contacts to have saved my number?
No. WhatsApp Business API broadcasts do not require contacts to have saved your number. Use contacts who have explicitly opted in to receive the relevant messages from your business. A past service conversation should not be treated as blanket permission for marketing.
Can I personalise bulk WhatsApp messages with the recipient name?
Yes. Zena supports dynamic personalisation variables in broadcast messages. Add columns like name, company, or order number to your CSV or Google Sheet and reference them in your message template. Each recipient receives a personalised message, not a generic blast.
Can I schedule WhatsApp broadcasts in advance?
Yes. On every plan you can schedule any broadcast to send at a specific date and time. Useful for Ramadan promotions, product launches, appointment reminders, or any time-sensitive campaign that should go out at peak engagement hours.
What types of media can I include in a WhatsApp broadcast?
Zena supports text, images, PDFs, and video in broadcast messages. All media must be included via Meta-approved message templates before sending. Your template library in Zena lets you create, store, and reuse rich media templates for every campaign type.
What happens when someone replies to a broadcast?
Replies from broadcast recipients appear directly in your shared WhatsApp team inbox in real time. Your agents can respond personally to each reply. If you have the AI chatbot enabled, it handles routine follow-up replies automatically so your team only deals with complex enquiries.
Can I send broadcasts if I'm using Coexistence (keeping my WhatsApp Business app)?
Yes. A Coexistence-mode number sends broadcasts through Cloud API while your phone app keeps handling 1:1 chats. Throughput and available capabilities depend on your connection mode and Meta account settings. Plan your send around the limits shown for your number, and ask the team to review larger campaigns before scheduling. You don't need a separate "broadcast number" - one Coexistence number does both.
