Send a WhatsApp message to each recipient listed in a Google Sheets spreadsheet

Send personalized WhatsApp messages directly from Google Sheets, one click, zero headaches.

  • Execute the task periodically
  • Extract the next new row (gspreadsheet → read_row)
  • Send a text message template (whatsapp_cloud_api → post_message_template)

Reaching each contact in your list with a tailored WhatsApp message is more than a headache—it’s a bottleneck that eats up hours and exposes you to mistakes or missed follow-ups. If you’re copy-pasting numbers and texts from a spreadsheet into WhatsApp manually, you know how tedious and error-prone this gets, especially as your list grows. Not automating this means wasted time, lost business opportunities, and the risk that your most important messages just don’t get through in time.

This Botize formula solves the problem by regularly sweeping through your Google Sheet, picking up each new row with a unique phone number and message, and instantly sending a WhatsApp message using your approved template. You set the frequency—every five minutes, an hour, or whenever you need—and have the flexibility to fine-tune which rows or filters trigger the workflow. Say goodbye to repetitive manual messaging and hello to effortless, accurate communication at any scale, backed by the reliability and authority of WhatsApp’s official Business API.

Ready to turn dozens of manual tasks into one streamlined flow? Follow the step-by-step guide to set up this Botize automation, or jump straight in using the ready-made formula link and customize the timing or template to fit your needs. Let’s make hitting send automatic and watch your productivity soar!
