Before you start

  • The target WhatsApp customer service account has been logged in and messages can be sent and received normally to the specified contact.
  • Confirmed to receive a reminder that the contact agrees to this matter.
  • When the administrator arranges team member tasks, he or she must have schedule management rights and have confirmed the responsible team member.

Where to find it
Employee client → Calendar → New schedule; Administrator admin console → Schedule management.

Distinguish between calendar reminders and customer messages #

The calendar can record future events, and after enabling "Automatically send messages", content can be sent to customers from a designated service account. Before creating, decide whether this is an internal work reminder or an actual notification that needs to be sent to customers; the title and description cannot replace the message body.

A good example would be confirming a demo time with a customer who has an appointment. Prepare the accurate appointment date, recipients and message content first to avoid mistakenly converting the test schedule into a formal customer task.

Fill in schedule information #

  1. Enter "Calendar" on the client and open "New Schedule".
  2. Fill in the title and select the theme; set the start and end time and description according to the interface.
  3. Configure reminder options. Reminders represent the arrangement of schedule reminders and should be checked separately with whether to send messages to customers.
  4. If you need to send messages to customers, turn on "Whether to send messages automatically".
  5. Fill in or select "Send to Customer" and check the "Customer Service Number". It is recommended to clearly specify the account responsible for sending to facilitate subsequent verification.
  6. Select the message type and fill in the content. The screenshot shows text input, and the admin console page also provides an entry for adding content; the complete types currently supported are subject to the interface options.
  7. Recheck the date, time period, recipient, sending account and text to complete the confirmation.

Administrator assigns tasks to team members #

Administrators can create schedules in the "Schedule Management" of the admin console and specify service accounts to perform message tasks. Before making arrangements, you should confirm which team member uses the account, whether it is connected, and let team members know the content of the task. The client and admin console use similar fields, but the information does not explain conflict handling or whose settings take precedence. You should avoid repeatedly creating the same notification when collaborating.

Verify execution with test schedule #

First create a schedule and send it to the designated test contact person, and record the date and time you use. Check the time displayed on the computer and the page; if the team uses it across time zones, you should first confirm the time at which the current version is actually executed. The data does not provide time zone calculation rules.

After the scheduled time is reached, check the session of the corresponding account to confirm that the actual content sent is consistent with the content received by the recipient. Successful creation only means that the schedule has been saved, but does not mean that the message has been sent. When not sent, priority is given to checking the automatic message sending switch, target contact, service account connection and time settings.

Check your result

  • After the schedule is saved, it can be found in the calendar or schedule management.
  • Automatically sending messages, time, receiving customers and service accounts are all in line with the plan.
  • After the test time arrives, the correct message appears in the corresponding session, and the test contact confirms receipt.

Frequently asked questions

Just fill in the title and time, will a message be automatically sent to the customer?

You need to additionally check "whether to automatically send messages" and configure the sending customer, service account and message content. Schedule reminders cannot be treated as configured customer messages.

If you don’t select an account, which service account will the system use?

Old screenshots have a prompt to use the account by default, but the information is insufficient to confirm the specific selection rules of the current version. Please clearly select the sending account for important messages and test first.

Can scheduled tasks continue after the computer is turned off?

This part of the information does not describe offline execution capabilities. Do not promise to continue sending after shutdown; the execution conditions should be verified in the current version before official use.
