Enable Unknown Customers View WhatsApp Status

Budget: ₹600 - ₹1500

I run a retail operation and rely heavily on WhatsApp to announce new stock, flash sales and store events. The challenge is that many shoppers have given us their phone numbers at checkout but never saved our number back, so they can’t currently see the Status updates I post.

I’d like a WhatsApp-focused specialist to devise and set up a working solution that lets those unsaved contacts view my Status content automatically. All I have today is a list of customer phone numbers—no emails, no CRM platform and no third-party integrations yet—so your plan needs to start from that simple data set.

Key points you’ll tackle: • Analyse the practical options within WhatsApp Business ( settings, broadcast tools, catalogue links, short-link tricks, API or approved third-party gateways) that legitimately expose Status to numbers that have not saved us. • Recommend the best route that complies with WhatsApp policies and protects customer. • Implement and test the configuration end-to-end: import numbers, trigger the opt-in or message flow you propose, and confirm that unsaved contacts can see at least one live Status update. • Provide concise documentation so my team can repeat the process next time.

Acceptance criteria • A sample group of unsaved numbers provided by me can view a real Status post inside 48 hours of project hand-over. • No account penalties or policy violations during testing. • Clear step-by-step guide delivered in PDF or Google Doc.

If you already have experience using the WhatsApp Business API, click-to-chat links, or automation tools like Twilio, WATI or AiSensy, let me know—speed and compliance matter.
