Broadcasts Overview
This guide explains how Broadcasts work in Irmaya and how to prepare, send, and review outbound campaigns for selected contact groups.
Overview
Broadcasts let you send outbound messages to specific contact segments and review how those campaigns perform.
Broadcasts help you:
- reach selected groups of contacts
- plan message timing
- review delivery and engagement results
- monitor replies after a send
Before You Start
Check these basics before creating a broadcast:
- your WhatsApp connection is active
- your contacts are imported and organized
- you have a clear target segment
- your message has been reviewed for clarity and timing
Create a Broadcast
Open Broadcasts and start a new campaign.
In this step:
- choose the target contact segment
- write the message content
- add links or images if needed
- review the message before saving
Keep the message clear, useful, and easy to understand.
Choose Delivery Timing
After drafting the message, decide when it should be sent.
Typical options include:
- send immediately
- schedule for later
When scheduling, double-check:
- delivery date
- delivery time
- timezone
Preview Before Sending
Always review the message before the final send.
Use preview to confirm:
- the message reads clearly
- links are correct
- images display properly
- the broadcast matches the intended audience
Manage Broadcast Lifecycle
Broadcasts usually move through three stages.
Drafts
Drafts are useful when:
- the message still needs review
- you want approval before sending
- the campaign is planned for later
Scheduled Broadcasts
Scheduled broadcasts should be checked before send time.
Review:
- whether the schedule is still correct
- whether the selected segment is still accurate
- whether the message still fits the campaign goal
Sent Broadcasts
After sending, use the results to understand what happened.
Look for:
- delivery success
- response volume
- engagement patterns
- customer replies that require follow-up
Contact Segments
Good broadcasts depend on good segment quality.
Use contact segments to:
- separate audiences by customer type
- target relevant campaigns
- avoid sending the same message to everyone
Review segments regularly so outdated contacts do not weaken campaign performance.
Analytics
Broadcast analytics help you judge message quality and audience fit.
Useful checks include:
- how many messages were sent
- how many were delivered
- how many replies were generated
- whether engagement was strong or weak
Use these patterns to improve future campaigns.
