I can’t schedule WhatsApp messages directly. However, you can use third-party apps or automation tools to schedule messages on WhatsApp, like:
WhatsApp Business: Allows you to set up quick replies and automated messages, but it doesn’t support full message scheduling.
Third-party apps: Apps like SKEDit (for Android) let you schedule WhatsApp messages if you grant them permission to send messages on your behalf.
Automation tools: Services like Tasker (for Android) or Shortcuts (for iOS) can help automate WhatsApp messaging, but you may need to grant permissions for the tools to interact with WhatsApp.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to scheduling WhatsApp messages using a couple of methods:
- Using SKEDit (for Android):
SKEDit is a popular app that allows you to schedule WhatsApp messages, among other things. Here’s how to use it:
Steps to use SKEDit:
Install SKEDit:
Download it from the Google Play Store.
Set up SKEDit:
Open the app and sign up or log in.
Grant permissions for SKEDit to access WhatsApp and send messages.
Schedule a WhatsApp Message:
Tap on the WhatsApp option within the app.
Choose the contact or group you want to send the message to.
Type the message you want to send.
Set the date and time you want the message to be sent.
Tap Schedule.
Allow SKEDit to work:
If this is your first time scheduling, SKEDit may ask you to enable accessibility settings. Follow the instructions for it to work properly.
- Using Tasker (for Android):
Tasker is a powerful automation app that can schedule WhatsApp messages through custom actions.
Steps to use Tasker:
Install Tasker:
Download it from the Google Play Store.
Create a new Task:
Open Tasker, go to the Tasks tab, and create a new task.
Set the Action for WhatsApp:
Add an action of type “Send SMS”.
In the Phone Number field, type in the contact’s name exactly as it appears in WhatsApp (you may need to use the Send Intent option for WhatsApp).
In the Message field, type your message.
Set the Trigger:
Create a Profile in Tasker that specifies the time you want the message to be sent.
Set it to trigger the task at the desired time.
Tasker requires a bit more technical know-how, but it offers flexibility for automating tasks beyond WhatsApp. - Using WhatsApp Business (Quick Replies):
If you’re running a business and want to set up automated replies, WhatsApp Business offers features to set up automated messages like greeting messages, away messages, and quick replies. However, it doesn’t allow full message scheduling like other apps do.
