WhatsApp marketing and customer service with personalised messages

Textra is a platform for sending WhatsApp campaigns in which each person receives a message with their own details. An AI agent answers replies to the campaign on WhatsApp and can hand the conversation over to a person on your team. Besides WhatsApp, Textra sends by SMS and email.

How it works

  1. Segment your audience

    Upload your contacts as a CSV with the attributes you need and build audiences with conditions. Before sending, you see a preview with the count and a sample.

  2. Choose the channel

    Send by WhatsApp, SMS or email, depending on what works best for each campaign.

  3. Schedule the send

    Send right away or schedule a future date and time. You can change or cancel it before it goes out.

  4. Reply on WhatsApp with an AI agent

    An AI agent answers replies to your campaign on WhatsApp and hands over to a person when needed.

Campaign flow: contact list, filtered audience, channel choice, and sending now or at a scheduled time.
You load the list and choose who gets it, through which channel and when it goes out.

Illustrative example

A campaign from start to finish

  1. A bookshop uploads its contact list as a CSV, with the name and a custom attribute called "last genre bought".
  2. It builds an audience with the condition "last genre bought = novel" and checks the preview with the count and a sample.
  3. It picks WhatsApp as the channel and a template whose text uses each contact's name.
  4. It schedules the send for a future date and time.
  5. Each person receives a message with their own name. If they reply, the AI agent answers on WhatsApp and, when needed, hands the conversation over to a person on the team.
