WhatsApp Self-Test First Touch

whatsappautomations

Send yourself your WhatsApp loop's first touch as a self-test — plus a big under-the-hood reliability upgrade for replies, follow-ups, and alerts.

New features

  • WhatsApp loops now include a self-test feature where you can send yourself the loop's real first-touch message to experience it firsthand.
  • Goal-aware follow-ups: Loop now paces its nudges based on what your loop is trying to achieve (bookings, sales, or nurturing) and stops after a respectful number of touches instead of following a one-size-fits-all rhythm.
  • A daily digest email now summarises the conversations waiting on you, so escalations reach you once, clearly — duplicate alerts for the same conversation are gone.
  • Our simulator now lets you see knowledge-base grounding signals within your conversations, providing you with more context.
  • The HTML code panel in the Studio allows you to view, copy, edit, and paste your page source effortlessly.

Experience updates

  • Replies from your leads are now answered around the clock — outreach is no longer silently held overnight, and follow-ups land when your audience is actually active.
  • WhatsApp campaign launches now roll out gradually instead of all at once, improving deliverability on large lead lists.
  • Pricing information for the Memberships feature now correctly displays under the Free tier instead of the Pro tier, clearing up misunderstandings about account benefits.
  • The shareable deep-link feature in billing now directly pops up the pricing picker, making it easier to share and navigate the pricing options.
  • Mobile plan selection on the pricing page now defaults to the Pro plan and displays one card at a time for improved clarity.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed Instagram and WhatsApp messages occasionally showing raw formatting symbols (like **bold**) or dropping link buttons — DMs now send as clean text with your links intact.
  • Fixed a set of race conditions that could cause a lead's reply to go unanswered until the next morning — replies are now answered within minutes at any hour.
  • Loop no longer proposes phone calls on loops that don't have calling enabled.
