Postabi provides WhatsApp API infrastructure as a service provider only. We are not responsible for WhatsApp account suspensions, bans, or restrictions that result from how you use the service. WhatsApp's policies are enforced by Meta — not by Postabi.

✅ Best Practices

Guidelines That Protect Your Account

These guidelines are based on WhatsApp's official Business Policy and best practices from thousands of users.

🔥

1. Warm Up New Numbers

Critical for brand new numbers — skip this and risk immediate ban

✅Start with 20-50 messages/day for the first week on a new number

✅Gradually increase to 100/day in week 2, then 200/day in week 3

✅Do NOT send 1000 messages on day 1 — this is the #1 reason for bans

✅Use a number that has an existing WhatsApp history (older account = safer)

✅Set a proper WhatsApp profile picture, name and about section before sending

👥

2. Send to the Right People

Contact quality is the most important factor in avoiding blocks

✅Always use the Number Validator first — only send to confirmed WhatsApp numbers

✅Send only to people who know your business or have opted in to receive messages

✅Do NOT purchase random phone number lists — these are almost all invalid or will report spam

✅Your own customers, leads, or contacts who shared their number willingly are safest

✅Remove unresponsive contacts from future campaigns (people who never reply)

✍️

3. Message Content Rules

What you say matters as much as who you send to

✅Write personalized messages — use customer name, city, or product details

✅Keep messages clear, relevant, and valuable to the recipient

🚫Never send: scam, fraud, or misleading content

🚫Never send: hate speech, violence, adult, or illegal content

🚫Never send: identical copy-paste messages 1000 times — vary your text slightly

✅Include a way for people to opt out: "Reply STOP to unsubscribe"

✅Include your business name and contact info in messages

📊

4. Sending Frequency & Timing

How often and when you send affects account health

✅Send messages during business hours (9AM–8PM) in your recipient's timezone

✅Do not send more than 2-3 campaigns per week to the same contact list

🚫Never send the same campaign to the same number more than once per day

✅Use Postabi's built-in rate limiting — do not try to bypass it

✅Space out your campaigns — daily is fine, every hour is too much

⚙️

5. Account Setup Best Practices

A well-set-up account is a trusted account

✅Set a professional profile picture (company logo or real photo)

✅Set your business name in WhatsApp profile

✅Use a Pakistani mobile number (03XX series) for Web API

✅Keep the phone with the SIM online and charged (for Web API)

✅Don't use the same SIM for personal heavy usage while running campaigns

🚫Never use a recently registered or freshly ported number for heavy bulk sending

6. If Your Number Gets Blocked

Steps to take if WhatsApp restricts your number

1️⃣Open WhatsApp and tap "Request a review" if the option appears
