Frequently asked questions about WhatsApp marketing for creators and influencers.

Why do I need a WhatsApp list as a creator if I already have followers?

Your followers live on the platform. It decides who sees your post and can change its rules at any time. Your WhatsApp list belongs to you, and every message lands directly in your subscribers' chat.

Can I just send my followers a WhatsApp?

Only if they have agreed themselves. Each follower signs up on your landing page and then confirms once in WhatsApp. SmartChat records the time and way of consent as proof for you.

Can I put people who message me privately straight onto my list?

No. Only people who sign up themselves and confirm in WhatsApp get onto your list. Instead, send them the link to your landing page, and your follower signs up themselves.

How do my followers get onto my WhatsApp list?

Through your landing page. You put the link in your profile and under your videos. You show the matching QR code in the video or during the livestream. If you have your own website, a popup for signing up also appears there.

Can I announce my new video on WhatsApp?

Yes. Your newsletter shows an image, for example a still from the video, plus the text and a button. The button takes your subscribers straight to your video.

Can I write to only some of my followers?

Yes. With Tags and lists you split your contacts into groups, for example everyone who came to your last meetup. You then send the newsletter only to that group.

How many followers fit on my WhatsApp list?

As many as sign up, because contacts are unlimited in every plan. Only the number of messages is limited: Free has 100 one time, Starter 3,000 per month, Basic 6,000 and Pro unlimited.

Do I have to label advertising for collaborations on WhatsApp too?

You label advertising for partners on WhatsApp just as clearly as in your videos. What exactly this means for your case, you clarify with legal advice. SmartChat does not check your texts for this.

Can SmartChat AI reply to my followers the way I write?

Yes. SmartChat AI learns from your own replies in the inbox how you write. It takes its knowledge from your website and the documents you upload. If it does not know something, the question stays in the inbox for you.

Yes, for example whoever helps you run your channel. All WhatsApp conversations are in one shared inbox. Free has 1 seat, Starter 3, Basic 6 and Pro 12.

Do I need a second phone number for my WhatsApp list?

No, you can connect your own number. If you want to keep personal messages and your channel apart, use a separate number for the channel. You connect exactly one number per account and confirm it with a code from Meta, the company behind WhatsApp.
