What is a WhatsApp Drip Campaign?

A WhatsApp Drip Campaign is an automated marketing strategy where a series of pre-written messages are sent to users over a defined period. Unlike one-time broadcasts, drip campaigns are designed to guide users through a journey, providing information, offers, or support at just the right moments in their customer lifecycle.

​

Core Components

• Message Sequence: A series of messages sent over time
• Automation Rules: Conditions that determine when messages are sent
• Audience Targeting: Specific segments that receive the campaign
• Performance Tracking: Metrics to measure campaign effectiveness

​

How It Works

1. User Opt-in: Customer agrees to receive messages
2. Campaign Trigger: An event starts the sequence (e.g., signup, purchase)
3. Message Delivery: Messages are sent at predetermined intervals
4. User Interaction: Campaign may change based on user responses
5. Conversion: The ultimate goal (purchase, signup, etc.) is achieved
