How many times has the salesperson promised to call the client on Monday and forgotten? Scheduling the message solves this.
In this article
Why schedule
The client asks to be called after 10, the salesperson writes it down on paper and forgets. Or the campaign needs to go out at 9h on Saturday and no one is online. Scheduling messages ensures agreed follow-ups happen and campaigns go out on time.
Agreed follow-ups
"Call me on Monday" instantly becomes a scheduled message.

Message ready for follow-up
"Hi, Paulo! We agreed to talk after 10 about the proposal. Does it make sense to schedule a quick chat tomorrow?"
Review
Before scheduling, check names, amounts and dates.
Common mistakes
Scheduling free text outside the window, bad timing and campaigns to those who haven’t authorized.
The numbers that matter
Scheduled follow-ups, follow-ups done on the right day and sales from follow-ups. When no one forgets the client anymore, the closing rate rises without any extra leads.
Team
Each salesperson sees their own follow-ups for the day when opening the CRM. The manager tracks who is on schedule and who is falling behind.
Frequently asked questions
Can you schedule messages through the official WhatsApp API?
Yes, via the CRM or connected platform. Outside the 24-hour window, scheduled messages must be templates approved by Meta.
