How it works

Four steps from your customer list to your inbox

Pick the audience

From your store customer list — all of them or a segment.

Write the message

An approved WhatsApp template, or free text from your number.

Send

Sent in measured batches that protect your number from bans.

Replies land

In the customer's thread, answered by your bot if you want.

Two ways to send

Choose by the number you use and by what you need to say

Your own number, QR

Free text

Write whatever you want, in your own words, with no template and no prior approval.

  • No template, no approval wait
  • No per-message fee from Meta
  • Up to 200 recipients per send
  • Deliberately capped tighter to protect the number
WhatsApp Cloud API

Approved template

A template Meta approved, with variables filled per customer.

  • Multi-language templates to pick from
  • Variables filled with the customer's name and order
  • Up to 500 recipients per send
  • Meta bills per message
Why the tighter cap on QR? Because a QR number is a real WhatsApp account that belongs to you, and fast sending to people who never messaged you first is the quickest route to a ban. The lower cap is not a missing feature, it is what keeps your number alive.

What makes it different

A broadcast is not the end of a conversation, it is the start of one

Filed into the conversation

Most broadcast tools send and forget, so an agent opens the thread and finds a customer answering a question nobody can see. Here every sent message is kept in that customer's thread.

The bot handles the replies

Fifty replies to one offer drowns any team. The bot answers price, availability and delivery, and hands over to a human only when it needs to.

Arabic first

Write in the dialect your customer reads — Gulf, Egyptian, Levantine, Iraqi — and the bot answers back in whichever one they wrote in.

From your phone

Send the broadcast and follow the replies from the Thikaa app on iPhone and Android, without opening a laptop.

Number protection

Capped batches, duplicate removal and phone-number normalisation before sending, so your activity does not read as spam.

A report per send

How many delivered, how many failed and to which number — a result per recipient instead of one vague total.

When to use it

An offer or a sale

Announce it to past customers before you pay for a single ad. They are the cheapest and fastest to buy.

A restock

Tell everyone who asked while it was out of stock that it just landed.

Appointment reminders

Remind tomorrow's bookings and cut no-shows without a single phone call.

Win-backs

Message everyone who has not bought in three months with one considered note.

Delivery updates

Tell a whole batch of orders that they are out for delivery today.

Seasons

Ramadan, Eid and back-to-school — the seasons your customers actually buy in.

Common questions

Do I need an approved template?

Only on the Cloud API route. A broadcast through the official WhatsApp Business Platform must use a template Meta approved, and Meta charges per message. The other route sends free text from your own QR-connected number, with no template and no approval.

How many customers at once?

Up to 500 recipients on an approved Cloud API template, and up to 200 on the QR number. The QR cap is deliberately lower because it is a real WhatsApp account and aggressive sending gets numbers banned.

Where do replies go?

Into the same shared inbox as any other conversation. Each broadcast message is written into that customer's thread, so when they answer, your agent sees what was sent instead of a reply to an invisible question.

Which number does it send from?

Any WhatsApp number connected to your workspace. With several numbers you choose the sender per broadcast, and the thread stays attached to the number the customer was messaged from.
