In online marketing, WhatsApp is an essential tool for staying connected with customers. Whether it’s communicating with clients or boosting brand visibility through marketing campaigns, WhatsApp plays a crucial role. However, timely message delivery is vital in the marketing process, especially across different time zones.

By setting scheduled messages, businesses can plan and schedule message delivery in advance. In this paragraph we are going to talk about some methods of setting WhatsApp schedule messages.

Set WhatsApp Schedule Message on Your IPhone

Using Shortcuts on iPhone to schedule WhatsApp messages requires some indirect steps, as WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business dosen't support WhatsApp schedule messages. However, you can still set up reminders and prepare to send messages at a scheduled time using Shortcuts and Automation. Here is a detailed step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Prepare Your WhatsApp Message

First, you need to decide on the message content you want to schedule and ensure that you have the contact or group ready to send the message.

Step 2: Install and Open Shortcuts

1. Ensure that the Shortcuts app is installed on your iPhone (it is usually pre-installed).
2. Open the Shortcuts app.

Step 3: Create a New Shortcut

1. In the Shortcuts app, click the + button in the top right corner to create a new shortcut.
2. In the action interface that pops up, click Add Action.

Step 4: Choose the "Send Message" Action

1. In the search bar, type "Send Message".
2. Select the Send Message action and set it to send to a specific contact.
   • Choose WhatsApp as the method to send.
   • Enter the message content.

Step 5: Set Time-Based Trigger

Since Shortcuts cannot directly schedule WhatsApp messages, you need to use the Automation feature to set a time-based trigger.

1. Go back to the Shortcuts main screen, and tap the Automation tab at the bottom.
2. Tap the + in the top right corner to create a new automation.
3. Choose Create Personal Automation.
4. Select Time of Day, and set the time you want the message to be sent.
5. After setting the trigger conditions, tap Next.
6. Select the Shortcut you previously created to trigger sending the message.
7. Confirm and save your automation.

Step 6: Test the Automation

• Wait for the set time and see if it successfully triggers and reminds you to send the WhatsApp message.
• Due to iOS security policies, you may need to manually confirm sending the message, as it cannot be fully automated.
