Pre-requisites to Send Broadcasts to Unlimited Users

Before you begin, ensure you have the following in place:

  1. Registered ChatMitra user. If you have not joined yet, start your free trial now to access our powerful messaging tools.
  2. Live WhatsApp Business API. Once registered, apply for the API via your ChatMitra dashboard. If you need assistance, you can watch our detailed video tutorial or schedule a call with our support team.

How to Send Broadcasts to Unlimited Users in One Go

When your WhatsApp Business API goes live, your account is initially capped at a broadcast limit of 250 unique users per day.

Before you can send messages to an unlimited audience, you will need to upgrade your current messaging limit. The first step is to increase your daily broadcast capacity from 250 to 2,000 unique users (updated Tier 1 limit for 2026).

This upgrade requires you to message 2,000 unique users within a 30-day period, all while ensuring that the quality of your messages remains in the green zone.

Follow these essential steps to boost your broadcast limit:

  1. Message 2,000 unique users in 30 days.
  2. Consistently maintain a high quality rating (all messages should reflect a green quality status).

Step 1: Achieve 2,000 Unique User Messages in 30 Days

To elevate your broadcast limit, you must complete this milestone. A practical strategy is to send broadcasts to 250 unique users daily for eight consecutive days, ensuring your quality rating stays high throughout the process.

Note: Only messages that are successfully delivered will be counted toward this milestone.

Once this target is reached, your broadcast limit will be automatically upgraded to Tier 1 (2,000 users/day).

How Can a Business Increase Its Daily Messaging Limit Beyond 2K Users Per Day?

To further enhance your daily messaging capacity beyond 2,000 unique users, you need to be promoted to the next tier.

This promotion is contingent on two key factors:

  1. Maintaining a robust quality rating (High/Green status).
  2. Consistently sending messages to at least 50% of your current unique user limit over a 7-day period.

For example, if your broadcast limit is currently 2,000 users (Tier 1), you should aim to message at least 1,000 unique users within the next week. In some cases, sending 1,000 messages on Day 1 can trigger an upgrade to 10,000 users (Tier 2) as early as the following day.

Step 2: Maintain a High-Quality Rating

Maintain High Quality Rating Dashboard

Consistently sending high-quality, relevant messages is crucial to keeping your quality rating high. A green quality status is necessary for moving to higher broadcast tiers.

The WhatsApp Business API evaluates your message quality based on how users interact with your content in the past 7 days (updated monitoring period for 2026). The quality states are:

  • Green: High Quality
  • Yellow: Medium Quality
  • Red: Low Quality

A steady green quality rating is essential for your account to progress to higher WhatsApp Broadcasting tiers. Any dip in quality may delay or block further upgrades.

How to Improve the WhatsApp Quality Rating

To boost or maintain a high WhatsApp Quality Rating, follow these best practices:

  1. Ensure that every message complies with WhatsApp Business Policy guidelines.
  2. Message only those who have opted in.
  3. Personalize your content to ensure it is relevant and valuable to the recipient, avoiding generic introductions.
  4. Be cautious with the frequency of your messages; optimize both content and timing to avoid overwhelming your audience.

How Does WhatsApp Define a High-Quality Message

WhatsApp evaluates message quality using several critical factors. A message is considered high-quality if it meets these criteria:

Expected

The message should meet user expectations based on their previous interactions.

Timely

Ensure messages are sent at appropriate times. Examples include notifications related to seasonal events or follow-ups on recently browsed products.

Relevant

Tailor your messages to suit the interests and needs of your recipients.
