FAQs
What types of files can I send as attachments in bulk on WhatsApp?
Using the Premium Sender extension, you can send a wide variety of file types to handle almost any business need. This allows you to move beyond simple text messages and share rich, valuable content with your audience. Supported formats include:
- Documents: Ideal for business operations and sales. You can send PDFs (brochures, invoices, catalogs), Word documents (proposals, reports), and Excel spreadsheets (price lists, data sheets).
- Images: Perfect for marketing and visual engagement. Common formats like JPG, PNG, and even GIFs are fully supported for sending product photos, event flyers, and promotional graphics.
- Videos: Excellent for product demonstrations, tutorials, or personalized greetings. The most common format, MP4, works seamlessly.
What is the maximum file size for sending attachments on WhatsApp?
This is a critical point to understand, as the file size limit on WhatsApp depends on the type of file you are sending.
- Media Files (Photos, Videos, Voice Messages): The maximum file size is 16 MB. For videos, this typically equates to about 90 seconds to 3 minutes of footage, depending on the quality.
- Documents (PDF, DOCX, etc.): The limit is much larger, allowing you to send files up to 2 GB. This is ideal for large product catalogs, detailed reports, and high-resolution brochures.
What if my media file is larger than 16 MB? For larger videos or high-resolution images, we recommend uploading the file to a cloud service like Google Drive, YouTube (as an “unlisted” video), or Dropbox and then sharing the link in your message. This provides a better user experience and avoids delivery issues.
How do I send an attachment to multiple unsaved contacts at once?
This is a core feature of Premium Sender that saves you an immense amount of time. You can send any supported attachment to a list of contacts without ever needing to save their numbers to your phone. Here is the simple, step-by-step process:
- Prepare Your Contact List: Create a simple Excel or CSV file with the phone numbers of your recipients.
- Compose Your Message: Open Premium Sender on WhatsApp Web and write the text you want to send along with your file. For example: “Hi {{Name}}, here is the event guide you requested.”
- Attach Your File: Click on the ‘Attach’ icon (usually represented by a paperclip) within the Premium Sender interface.
- Select the File: Choose the document, image, or video you wish to send from your computer’s file browser.
- Upload & Send: Upload your contact list and click the ‘Send’ button. The extension will then automatically send your personalized message and the attached file to every number on your list.
Can I add a personalized caption or message with each attachment?
Absolutely. In fact, you should always send a message with your attachment to provide context. Sending a file with no explanation can appear spammy and may be ignored.
With Premium Sender, the text you write in the main message box serves as the caption for your file. You can and should use personalization tokens in this text.
Example Template:
“Hello {{Name}},
Thank you for your inquiry! As promised, I’ve attached our new product catalog. You’ll find the section on {{Interest}} on page 5.
Let me know if you have any questions!”
This combination of a personalized message and a relevant attachment is highly effective for engagement.
Can I send multiple different files in a single message?
Yes, Premium Sender supports sending multiple attachments in one message. This is useful when you need to provide several pieces of information at once, such as sending a product photo (JPG) along with its technical specification sheet (PDF).
To do this, simply select all the files you wish to include when the file browser opens. However, keep in mind that sending many large files at once can slow down the campaign and may be overwhelming for the recipient. For sending a large collection of files, it is often better to compress them into a single .zip archive first.
Does sending attachments in bulk increase the risk of my WhatsApp account getting banned?
Sending attachments, especially to a large audience, can increase your risk if you don’t follow proper safety protocols. Sending files can use more data and take more time per message, which can look suspicious if done too quickly.
To send attachments safely with Premium Sender, you must:
- Use a Longer Delay: When sending files, it is crucial to use a longer, randomized delay between messages. We recommend setting a delay of 15-30 seconds to give each file time to upload and send properly, simulating natural user behavior.
- Send in Smaller Batches: Instead of sending 500 attachments in one go, break your campaign into smaller batches of 50-100 messages with a pause in between.
- Ensure Content is Relevant: Only send files to users who have a reason to receive them. Unsolicited attachments are a primary reason people block and report numbers.
Is it possible to track if a recipient has opened or downloaded my attachment?
Due to WhatsApp’s user privacy policies, it is not possible for any third-party tool to track whether a user has clicked ‘open’ on a PDF or ‘play’ on a video.
However, Premium Sender does provide crucial delivery insights through its campaign reports:
- Delivery Status: You can see if the message containing the attachment was successfully delivered to the recipient’s device (indicated by the two grey or blue checkmarks). This confirms your message reached them.
Pro-Tip for Tracking: If tracking engagement is essential (for example, to see who viewed a proposal), upload the document to a service that provides analytics (like Google Drive with shared permissions or a dedicated document tracking service) and share the unique link in your message. You can then monitor who clicked the link.
What are the key business advantages of sending attachments like PDFs and images in bulk via WhatsApp?
Sending attachments in bulk via WhatsApp, empowered by a tool like Premium Sender, unlocks powerful advantages that go far beyond standard text messaging. It transforms WhatsApp into a versatile platform for sales, marketing, and operations. Here are the primary benefits:
- Distribute High-Impact Business Documents Instantly: Emailing critical documents like brochures, invoices, or proposals often results in them being lost in cluttered inboxes or spam folders. By sending them directly on WhatsApp, you leverage the platform’s ~95% open rate to ensure your documents are seen. With Premium Sender, you can send a new product catalog to hundreds of leads, dispatch invoices to all your clients, or share reports with your team in a single, automated campaign.
- Boost Sales and Marketing with Rich Visual Content: Visuals are far more engaging than plain text. Instead of just telling customers about a new product or event, you can show them. You can bulk send high-resolution product images, vibrant event invitation flyers, or short video demonstrations. This visual approach captures attention immediately, leading to higher engagement and better conversion rates for your marketing campaigns.
- Achieve Unmatched Efficiency and Time Savings: Imagine the time it would take to manually save hundreds of contacts and then send a file to each one individually. It would be a full-time job. Premium Sender automates this entire workflow. The combination of two key features- attachment support and the ability to message unsaved numbers- means you can execute a large-scale distribution campaign in minutes, not days. This automation frees up your valuable time to focus on strategy and customer conversations rather than repetitive manual tasks.
- Leverage a Secure and Reliable Delivery Channel: WhatsApp messages are protected by end-to-end encryption, making it a secure channel for sending sensitive documents like invoices or business proposals. Furthermore, unlike email, you get clear and immediate delivery confirmation (the checkmarks). The reports in Premium Sender allow you to track which messages were successfully delivered, giving you confidence that your attachments have reached their destination.
