Lists purchased from third parties put your account at risk.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Always allow customers to unsubscribe (<a href=\"https:\/\/support.spoki.com\/en\/docs\/how-to-en\/how-to-block-contacts-automatically\/\">technical instructions<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Gradual sending strategy (&#8220;warm-up&#8221;)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>First week: maximum 250 contacts per day (ideally the &#8220;warmest&#8221; ones).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>24 hours after sending, check the account quality status in the dashboard:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>High\/Medium \u2192 you can continue sending.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Low \u2192 pause sending for 7 days; after this period quality returns to high and you can resume.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once the first round to your customer base is complete (those who wanted to unsubscribe have done so), you can move up to 1,000 contacts\/day, always monitoring quality.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Templates<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For mass sending, split the list into smaller sub-lists and use slightly different variations of the same template to reduce reports.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Renew templates periodically: individual templates (not just the account) can also be reported\/blocked.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Note: an approved template does not guarantee safe usage \u2014 overly promotional wording, repeated reminders, or messaging low-engagement users can still damage account quality.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Message content<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Avoid typical spam phrases (&#8220;best offer on the market&#8221;, &#8220;you&#8217;ve been selected&#8221;, &#8220;you&#8217;ve won&#8230;&#8221;).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Alternate commercial messages with value-adding nurturing messages (info about your service\/industry), avoiding overly aggressive marketing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pay attention to the content and length of informational messages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Contact frequency<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>First communication: a single message.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Follow-up messages only if the customer responds (e.g., clicks a template button).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For customers who don&#8217;t respond: no more than 1 message every 10\u201315 days.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Always monitor overall sending frequency to avoid overwhelming customers with messages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Common-sense rule of thumb<\/em><br>Before every automation, ask yourself: &#8220;Would I block\/report this number if I received this message?&#8221; If yes, stop and revise the message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WhatsApp is a channel the customer considers privileged: it should not replicate email communications and must be treated with greater care and respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3.
