When uploading your CSV file, it's important that the formatting is correct. We've included an example CSV file that you can download and use as a reference to ensure your data is structured correctly.

Ensure all phone numbers are listed in the first column. Format each WhatsApp number by including the correct country code (e.g. '27' for South Africa) at the beginning of the number, and do not include any symbols such as '+'.

If your template includes variables (e.g. name), you can add these in the columns next to the number, starting with the first variable.

Once your database is correctly formatted and you've uploaded your CSV file into the designated area, you’ll be prompted to confirm whether your contacts have opted in. This step is crucial to ensure you're only messaging customers who have given permission to receive communications from your business.
