Broadcast Menu- Learn how to broadcast bulk WhatsApp messages.

EasySocial offers the convenient feature of bulk broadcasting, allowing you to send multiple messages simultaneously. The speed at which messages are throttled depends on the plan you choose. With the basic plan, you can send up to 40 messages per second, while the business plan allows for 80 messages per second. For those who opt for the enterprise plan, the speed increases to 200 messages per second.

Suppose you need to send a substantial amount of 100,000 messages. In such a scenario, EasySocial's efficient system will ensure that your messages are delivered in a timely manner. It would take approximately 17 minutes for all the messages to be successfully transmitted.

EasySocial offers three distinct methods for conducting bulk broadcasts. Let us learn how to use these methods.
