Everything You Need to Run
WhatsApp Campaigns in UAE

CSV & Google Sheets Audience

Upload your contact list as a CSV file on any plan. Growth and above plans add Google Sheets: point your campaign at a Google Sheet and Zena pulls contacts automatically. The auto-trigger option sends a WhatsApp message the moment a new row is added.

Rich Media: Images, PDFs, Videos

Send product catalogues, promotional images, invoices, event flyers, and videos alongside your message text. Rich media support is available on all Zena plans and must be included in your Meta-approved template.

Campaign Scheduling

Schedule your WhatsApp broadcast campaigns for optimal delivery times. Send Ramadan offers at iftar time, weekend promotions on Thursday evenings, or appointment reminders the morning before. Available on Growth and above plans.

Variable Personalisation

Include dynamic variables in your campaign messages: customer name, company, order number, appointment time, or any custom field from your contact list. Personalised WhatsApp messages consistently outperform generic broadcasts.

Delivery & Read Rate Tracking

Track every campaign in real time: messages sent, delivered, read, and replied. Growth and above plans include campaign analytics with custom date range filtering and per-campaign performance breakdowns.

Template Builder with Meta Validation

Create and submit Meta-compliant message templates directly from Zena. The template builder validates your template structure, variable placement, and content against Meta's requirements before submission, reducing rejection rates.

Bulk WhatsApp Messaging in the UAE: The Legal Way

For UAE businesses with a customer list, WhatsApp is the channel customers actually read. The question isn't whether to broadcast, but how to do it without losing your number. Most UAE businesses are either not broadcasting at all, or doing it through tools that put their account at permanent risk.

The illegal approach: unofficial WhatsApp bulk sender tools, modified APKs, or WhatsApp Web scrapers. This violates Meta's terms and risks permanent account bans. The legal approach requires the official WhatsApp Business Cloud API, Meta-approved message templates, and opted-in contacts. Zena provides all of this through its official Meta BSP relationship.

Daily Send Ceilings by Plan

Zena exposes the daily broadcast ceiling that Meta permits at your plan tier. These are ceilings, not allotments: Meta sets your actual daily quota based on your account's messaging-tier history, which scales up as you send consistently without complaints.

  • Starter: up to 1,000 broadcasts per day
  • Growth: up to 4,000 broadcasts per day
  • Business: up to 15,000 broadcasts per day

New accounts start at a lower Meta messaging tier and unlock higher tiers automatically as send history accumulates. Zena cannot override the Meta tier; we surface and respect it.

WhatsApp Template Messages vs Session Messages

For bulk broadcasting in the UAE, you'll use WhatsApp template messages, which are pre-approved message formats that Meta reviews before you can send them. Templates can include text, variables, media attachments, and call-to-action buttons. The template approval process typically takes 24-48 hours. Zena's template builder helps you structure templates correctly to maximise approval rates.

Building a Legal WhatsApp Contact List in the UAE

Before sending any WhatsApp broadcast campaign, your contact list must consist of people who have given explicit consent. In the UAE, this means:

  • Opt-in forms on your website that specifically mention WhatsApp communications
  • In-store sign-up processes where customers provide their WhatsApp number for updates
  • Existing customers who have WhatsApp conversations with your business
  • Lead forms that include WhatsApp opt-in as part of the submission
