Unlock Group

How to Use the “Unlock Group” Action in Botassium

If you've temporarily restricted a WhatsApp group to admin-only messaging using automation, the “Unlock Group” action in Botassium lets you reverse that setting—allowing group members to send messages again.

This guide walks you through how to use this action to re-open conversation channels at the right moment in your flow.

What is the “Unlock Group” Action?

The Unlock Group node is an automation action that restores messaging permissions to all participants in a selected WhatsApp group.

Use this when:

  • You’ve finished posting an announcement or lesson

  • A discussion or Q&A window is about to begin

  • You want to re-engage your group after quiet hours

  • A temporary lockdown period has ended

This action only works on groups you manage and have admin access to.

How to Set It Up

  1. Open or Create a Flow
    Head to the Automations section in Botassium.

  2. Add the “Unlock Group” Node
    Drag it into your automation where you want to allow members to post again.

  3. Select the Group to Unlock
    From the dropdown, choose the WhatsApp group you want to re-open for participant messages.

  4. Use It Based on Timing or Conditions
    For example:

    • After a scheduled announcement finishes

    • At the start of a live discussion

    • When a moderator enables open chat

    • After a cooldown period for spam control

No extra configuration is required—Botassium will update the group settings instantly when this node is triggered.

Example Use Case

You post a daily announcement to a learning group and want to open it for discussion immediately after:

  1. The Lock Group action restricts messages while the content is posted

  2. A delay of 5 minutes is added

  3. The Unlock Group action is triggered

  4. Members can now reply and ask questions

The Unlock Group action is available in all WhatsApp automation flows, and is especially useful for timed discussions, training sessions, community moderation, and re-enabling engagement after restricted broadcasts.
