How to run a campaign in Atom
Once you complete the process of connecting the WhatsApp channel, we will begin to structure the design of the outbound campaign that we want to use.
💡Get to know our campaign module, understand the scope, and let's start creating your campaign.
Let's start with creating the campaign.
1. Creating a template or Template Message
The first thing we must do is create the Template Message that must be approved by WhatsApp before sending.
Template Messages for Official WhatsApp are specific message formats that companies use to send notifications or messages related to customer service to people who have agreed to receive them. Messages can include appointment reminders, shipping information, problem resolutions, or payment notifications.
What is the importance of Message Templates? After a period of 24 hours without receiving any response from a customer, WhatsApp does not allow you to continue sending messages, since according to its established policies, spam must be avoided at all costs. This is where the importance of templates lies, as they function as preloaded messages that can be sent to the client after this period in order to resume the attention that was being provided.

You can create several Campaigns for the mass sending of templates to different target audiences, according to the needs of the business.
Campaigns are of two types:Templates:Template type campaigns are those that we use for the mass sending of a message (Template Message).Flows:Flow type campaigns are those that we use to send a template (Template Message) that will later trigger an automated process by the bot, before assignment with an agent.That is to say, template campaigns are focused on sending notifications in which a short response from the client is expected, while Flow campaigns are expected to capture information in an automated way by the bot according to the response selected by the client.Herewe explain how to create a campaign of both types
