2. What’s inside the sample file
Column header | Description |
|---|---|
Name | Recipient’s full name (optional) |
Phone Number | WhatsApp number in international format (mandatory) |
Amount (optional) | Variable value (e.g., payment, invoice) |
Date (optional) | Delivery or event date |
Name and Phone Number are included in the sample file by default. You can add optional columns like amount and date to align with template variables ({{1}}, {{2}}) for personalisation.
3. Best practices
- Always keep the exact column headers.
- Save your audience as .csv or .xlsx before upload.
- Fill in every Phone Number; other fields improve personalisation.
- Match optional columns to template variables for smooth mapping.
4. Common issues to avoid
Mistake | Problem caused |
|---|---|
Renaming or deleting mandatory columns | Upload fails |
Extra characters in numbers (spaces, dashes, symbols) | Numbers rejected |
Blank rows | Validation errors |
Mixing formats (local 10-digit numbers instead of 91XXXXXXXXXX) | Campaign blocked |
5. Summary
- The sample file is your blueprint for uploads.
- Phone Number is mandatory; other fields are optional but boost personalisation.
