Schedule a Message

How to Use the “Schedule a Message” Action in Botassium

If you want to send a WhatsApp message later—rather than immediately—Botassium's “Schedule a Message” action lets you do exactly that. It works similarly to the Reply to Chat action but with added scheduling flexibility, making it ideal for timed follow-ups, reminders, or delayed responses.

What is the “Schedule a Message” Action?

The Schedule a Message node allows you to configure a WhatsApp message (text, media, location, contact card, or buttons) and send it after a specific delay—instead of immediately.

This is helpful when you want to:

  • Follow up with a lead after a set amount of time

  • Send appointment or payment reminders

  • Drip out content over a period

  • Create automated nurture sequences

How It Works

The configuration is almost identical to the Reply to Chat action, with the addition of these two fields:

1. Delay Amount

A number input that determines how long the system should wait before sending the message.

2. Time Unit

Choose between:

  • Minutes

  • Hours

  • Days

This gives you full control to schedule your message exactly when it makes the most sense in your automation flow.

For example, a delay of 2 Hours can be used to send a follow-up message after a product inquiry.

Where to Manage Scheduled Messages

All messages created through the Schedule a Message action will appear in your Broadcasting tab, under the Scheduled Campaigns filter. This lets you:

  • Review what's queued for each contact

  • Cancel or edit upcoming messages

  • Track automation-driven campaigns separately from manual broadcasts

Example Use Case

A user requests a price quote. You immediately respond with details using a Reply to Chat action, then:

  1. Use the Schedule a Message action with a delay of 1 Day

  2. Send a follow-up: “Just checking in—are you ready to proceed with the order?”

This keeps your conversation active without manual intervention.

The Schedule a Message action is perfect for sales follow-ups, appointment reminders, abandoned cart messages, or re-engagement campaigns—anywhere timing matters in your WhatsApp automation strategy.
