Every broadcast reply gets an answer.
Offers, catalog and order updates on one WhatsApp number, with every reply landing in a shared inbox.
A broadcast goes out. Hundreds reply.
A festive-sale broadcast brings hundreds of replies overnight. Half get answered twice, half not at all.
- Campaign replies scatter across phones.
- Order questions get lost among offer questions.
- Customers who opted out still get the next offer.

Nothing goes out. Anything a customer sends waits in the inbox, and Rang Boutique’s scheduled messages hold until Monday morning.
What does the work.
The parts of WaSparks this week leaned on.
Campaigns with a reply loop
Every reply lands in the inbox and counts toward its campaign.
Catalog in the chat
Single products, several, or the full catalog, sent from the conversation.
Order updates from your systems
Your store or billing system sends updates through the API.
Cost before you send
The Meta cost estimate appears at review, before anything goes out.
Retail: questions.
Something else? Ask us.
Can it connect to my online store or billing system?
Yes, through the WaSparks API and signed webhooks. Your developer, or a WaSparks partner, connects it, for example to send dispatch updates automatically.
Do I manage my catalog in WaSparks?
Yes. Products and collections live in WaSparks and are published to Meta, so you can send one product, several, or the whole catalog in a chat.
Do my customers need a new app?
No. They message your number on WhatsApp, the same as today.
What happens to chats when someone leaves?
Conversations and contact records belong to your business account. Remove the person’s access and their chats stay where they are.
