Set the time, close your laptop, put your phone down. WAscheduler sends from the cloud, so your devices don't need to be on, online, or anywhere near you when the message goes out.
Schedule your message freeFree to try. No card needed. Connect WhatsApp in 10 seconds.
iPhone Shortcuts pings you when the message is due and waits for you to tap a confirmation. If you're asleep, the message doesn't go. Android scheduler apps need your phone on, unlocked, and granted accessibility permissions that break every other system update. The WhatsApp Business app doesn't schedule outbound messages at all — its "Away message" feature is an auto-reply, not a scheduler. WhatsApp's own native scheduling, still in beta, will fire one message to one contact when it eventually rolls out.
None of these send a personalized message to fifty customers while you're asleep. That's the gap. That's what WAscheduler does.
Not a feature list. The actual difference it makes once it's set up and running quietly in the background.
No more setting alarms for the 9am Monday send, no more "I'll text them tomorrow" floating around your head at 11pm. Schedule on Friday afternoon, close the laptop, and let it fire on its own. Your weekend stops being a queue of things you have to remember to do.
The sticky note that said "text Priya about the renewal" becomes a guaranteed send at the time you promised. Your reputation stops depending on your memory, and the customer experience stops depending on whether you're having a busy week.
A solo founder running scheduled, personalized campaigns looks like a team of five. Same polish as the WhatsApp Business API — without the BSP fees, the template approval process, or the 24-hour conversation window.
One scheduled invoice reminder that actually goes out at 10am Monday — instead of waiting for you to remember — usually pays for the tool for a year. Same for one rescued no-show, one recovered abandoned cart, one renewal that didn't slip.
The whole setup takes about two minutes. After the first time, scheduling a new campaign takes thirty seconds.
Same one-tap mechanism WhatsApp Web uses. Scan once, your session lives behind your WAscheduler login from then on. No password to lose, no app to install on your phone.
Paste numbers if your list is small. Upload a CSV if it's not. Every column in your CSV becomes a variable you can drop into the message — first name, order ID, due date, anything.
Type your message and drop in variables in curly braces. Hi {first_name}, your order {order_id} ships tomorrow. Every recipient gets the same message with their own details swapped in. No mail merge, no copy-paste.
PDF invoice, product image, voice note, brochure. The attachment goes out with every message in the campaign.
Ten minutes from now or three weeks from now. Time zone handled automatically.
You're done. Close the tab. Turn off your phone. Go to sleep. The messages send at the time you picked, from our servers, whether you're around or not.
Almost every other WhatsApp scheduler runs on your phone. That means your phone has to be on, unlocked, connected to the internet, with the app awake, with battery, at the exact moment the message is supposed to send. If anything in that chain breaks — phone dies, you're on a flight, the screen times out, an OS update revokes a permission — the message doesn't go.
WAscheduler runs on our servers. You connect your WhatsApp once. After that, every scheduled message fires from the cloud at the time you picked, on the dot, whether your phone is on or not. You can schedule a campaign on your laptop, fly to another country, leave your phone at home, and the message still lands at 9am in your customer's time zone.
This is the one thing no other scheduler does end-to-end. Native scheduling will run from WhatsApp's servers when it launches, but it won't do bulk or personalization. Bulk schedulers need your device. WAscheduler does both.

If you only ever schedule one personal birthday wish a month, iPhone Shortcuts is fine. For anything else — anything for work, anything to more than one person, anything you can't stay up to confirm — WAscheduler is the only complete option.
Order confirmations, payment reminders, delivery updates, and festival offers to opted-in customer lists. The send fires at 10am on the dot, whether the owner is in a meeting or asleep.
Schedule follow-ups for the day and time you promised, in the recipient's time zone. No mental load, no sticky notes, no missed touchpoints.
Schedule weekly class reminders, appointment confirmations, and check-in messages to the same group every week. Set up once, fires forever.
Schedule the invitation, the reminder the day before, the "we start in 30 minutes" nudge, and the post-event thank-you, all in one sitting.
Anyone who's tired of typing the same message into thirty chats and updating the name each time. If you've copy-pasted a message twice this week, WAscheduler pays for itself.
WAscheduler logs in the same way WhatsApp Web does — you scan a QR code with your phone, and your session lives behind your WAscheduler account. There's no password to leak because there isn't one. You can disconnect from your phone's WhatsApp settings anytime, the same way you'd log out of WhatsApp Web.
We rate-limit sends to keep your number well under WhatsApp's tolerance thresholds, and we strongly recommend you only message people who've opted in to hear from you. WhatsApp can ban any number that gets spam reports, no matter what tool you use to send. Treat your customer list with respect and you'll be fine.
Yes, with WAscheduler. We send from the cloud, so your phone can be off, in a different country, or out of battery when the message fires. iPhone Shortcuts, Android scheduler apps, and WhatsApp's own native scheduler all need your phone to be on and connected.
Yes. WAscheduler works in your browser on iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, Windows, anywhere. You don't need to install anything. WhatsApp itself doesn't have a working native scheduler for iPhone yet — it's in beta but not generally released — and Apple Shortcuts requires you to tap a confirmation when the message fires.
The WhatsApp Business app doesn't schedule outbound messages. The "Away message" people often mistake for scheduling is an auto-reply to incoming messages. To schedule outbound messages from your business number, connect that number to WAscheduler by scanning the QR code from inside WhatsApp Business.
Yes. Paste a list or upload a CSV. Every recipient gets their own copy, with their own name and details swapped in if you've added personalization variables.
Any tool that sends WhatsApp messages, including native WhatsApp, can get a number flagged if the recipients report it as spam. Only message people who've opted in, keep your volume reasonable, and personalize. We rate-limit on our end to keep you safely below WhatsApp's tolerance.
Yes, anytime before it fires. The dashboard shows every scheduled message with edit and cancel buttons.
Both. Scan the QR code from whichever app holds the number you want to send from.
Up to 500 recipients per campaign on the free plan, with unlimited recipients and concurrent campaigns on paid plans.
Scan the QR. Paste your list. Pick a time. Close the tab. We'll handle the rest.
