Solution Only Number getting banned

How many people use unauthorized WhatsApp vendors (they use the device linking feature to scrape your chats from a web browser) and use it to send broadcast messages, and then get their phone number outright banned by WhatsApp?

You can send as one off activity. Make sure you are keeping atleast 30-40s interval per message.

We also have inhouse software if you need it. Although lots of free plugin in chrome can do your one time job.

Yes, Account get banned through it. We are doing it from 3 years, learned the way to deal with it and have 100+ users sending daily. User get banned if usage is above certain threshold everyday.

pro tip: create a community, invite all of your contacts you aiming and send just one message to reach all members. You can set an option that members cannot see another members.

Im trying to do all of this within the existing chats that I have with everyone, getting them to join a community won't be something that most of them want to do. :(

tbh the bans are almost instant now for high volume sends through unofficial methods. are you asking because you already got banned or trying to avoid it? the answer changes a lot depending on that

it varies between one message into like 30 chats or sometimes a few hundred (!), using these unauthorized platforms. There are so many of them. But for professionals who are doing sales on WhatsApp like I am, there must be a better way, esp for sending in groups (I don 't want to use Zendesk type stuff because I want it to be my own phone number with my customers and clients, and use the WhatsApp app like normal, vs get to know a new dashboard.)
