Schedule WhatsApp Messages and Send at the Perfect Time
Plan it once. PingLocal sends it on time, every time.
Schedule WhatsApp messages so your campaigns, reminders, and follow-ups reach customers exactly when they're most likely to respond. Plan your Black Friday promotion a week early, schedule appointment reminders for tomorrow, or set up a drip sequence that runs on autopilot. No more manually sending messages at odd hours.

Compose Your Message
Select a Meta-approved template or choose from PingLocal's library. Add personalisation variables like customer name and order details.

Why Businesses Choose This Feature
Send at Peak Engagement Times
Schedule messages for when your customers are most active: morning commutes, lunch breaks, or early evenings. Timing can double your response rate.
Plan Campaigns in Advance
Set up your entire month's campaigns in one sitting. Black Friday, holiday specials, weekly promotions. Schedule them all ahead of time.
Automated Appointment Reminders
Schedule reminders to go out 24 hours before each appointment. Customers confirm or reschedule, and your no-show rate drops by up to 60%.
Follow-Up Sequences
Schedule follow-up messages 3 days after a purchase for a review request, or 7 days later with a loyalty offer. Set it up once and forget it.
Time Zone Friendly
Schedule messages based on your business hours. Your customers get messages at appropriate times, not at 3am.
Full Delivery Tracking
See exactly when your scheduled message was sent, delivered, and read. Track which scheduled campaigns drive the most engagement.
Frequently Asked Questions
You can schedule messages up to 30 days in advance. This gives you plenty of time to plan monthly campaigns, seasonal promotions, and recurring reminders.
