WhatsApp · Growth and up

WhatsApp outreach, on your own number.

Connect your own WhatsApp Business Account through Meta's Embedded Signup. Meta bills you directly for conversations. Sequenz adds no per-message margin.

Sequenz is the AI SDR for B2B sales teams in Europe. WhatsApp is one of its channels, run from your own business account.

Growth and upConsent and Meta's rules are checked at send time, not just when you write.

Template · meeting-follow-up-1

Hi Katharina, thanks for your time last week. Would Thursday at 11:00 work for a short follow-up on the ops report?

No reply in the last 24 hours, so only an approved template can send.

Ready to send: opt-in recorded, template approved.

Example lead. Switch the window to see what is allowed.

Bring your own account

Your number. Your business. Your Meta bill.

Onboarding uses Meta's Embedded Signup, the current standard. You stay the owner of the number and the account, and Sequenz never resells messages.

  1. Start Embedded SignupAuthorise in Meta's own flow. You approve exactly what Sequenz can do.
  2. Confirm number and businessYour verified business and number stay yours. Several accounts are supported, and messages rotate across your numbers.
  3. Add WhatsApp to a sequenceIt sits next to email and LinkedIn, and fires only for leads who opted in.
Meta's rules, enforced

The window and the templates, held for you.

124-hour window

Free-form inside the window. Templates outside it.

When a lead messages you, a 24-hour window opens and you can reply freely. Outside it, only approved templates send. The check runs at send time, so an out-of-window message simply does not go out.

2Template approval

Only Meta-approved templates send.

A template has to be approved by Meta at the moment of sending. If an approval lapses, Sequenz refuses to send that template rather than risk your account.

Template · meeting-follow-up-1
  1. Draft
  2. Submitted to Meta
  3. Approved

If approval lapses, this template is blocked at send until Meta approves it again.

Consent

Opt-in before the first message. Opt-out on the next.

No opt-in, no send. When someone says stop, suppression is written before the next send check, so they are not messaged again.

Opt-in capture
Each opt-in is stored with its time, its source and the version of the consent text shown, before any first WhatsApp message.
Opt-out handling
STOP and unsubscribe keywords are recognised in several languages on incoming messages, and suppression is written before the next send check.
Replies, sorted
WhatsApp replies land in the same private inbox as email and LinkedIn, in six categories. See the inbox.
Auto-replies stay quiet
Auto-replies are collapsed. They do not add to your unread count and do not stop a sequence.
How it works in detail

What does Sequenz check before a WhatsApp message goes out?

  1. Your account, connected in Meta’s flow

    You connect your WhatsApp Business Account and number through Meta’s Embedded Signup. A workspace can connect several accounts. Messages rotate across your numbers, and a conversation stays on the number it started on.

  2. An opt-in is on record

    An opt-in counts when you log it on the lead, when your web form sends it to Sequenz, or when the lead messages you first. Each one is stored with its time, its source and the consent text version. If the lead’s number changes, the old opt-in no longer counts.

  3. The message fits the window

    Free-form text sends only within 24 hours of the lead’s last message. Outside that window only a Meta-approved template can send. A rejected or disabled template is refused, and a template Meta has paused waits until it is approved again.

  4. The limits have room

    Each sender has a daily limit, 100 messages by default, inside your plan’s monthly WhatsApp allowance and Meta’s own messaging limit. When a limit is spent, the message waits instead of failing.

  5. Replies are read as they arrive

    Opt-out words such as STOP or UNSUBSCRIBE, in seven languages, are recorded the moment the message arrives, so the next send check refuses that lead.

Questions, answered.

Which plans include WhatsApp?

WhatsApp is included on Growth, Scale and Enterprise. The free trial and Starter cannot connect a WhatsApp Business Account. Every plan with WhatsApp also includes email and LinkedIn, so a sequence can use all three channels and skip the ones a lead cannot be reached on.

Do my leads need to opt in before I message them?

Yes. Sequenz refuses to send a WhatsApp message to a lead without a stored opt-in, and it checks this at send time, not only when you build the sequence. An opt-in can come from your own record on the lead, your web form, or the lead messaging you first.

What can I send outside the 24-hour window?

Only a template that Meta has approved. Free-form messages are allowed only within 24 hours of the lead’s last message to you. The window and the template’s approval are both checked when the message is about to send, so a message that no longer fits is held back.

What happens when a lead replies STOP?

The opt-out is recorded as soon as the message arrives, before the next send check, so that lead gets no further WhatsApp messages. Sequenz recognises opt-out words in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and Portuguese. The reply also lands in your private inbox.

Add WhatsApp without the compliance headache.

Bring your own business account, keep your Meta billing, and let Sequenz hold the window, the templates and the consent. On Growth and up.
