Connect WhatsApp for outreach

A connected WhatsApp account that can send messages and start new chats as part of your campaigns.

CLIENT-ONLY · How-To


A WhatsApp account connected and ready to use in campaign steps.

  • A Strategist or Oracle plan
  • A personal WhatsApp account on a phone you control
  1. Go to Settings and open the Accounts tab.
  2. Click Connect WhatsApp. A QR code appears.
  3. On your phone, open WhatsApp, go to Settings, then Linked devices, then Link a device, and scan the QR code shown in Wiggli.
  4. Once linked, the account shows Connected.

The account shows Connected. A WhatsApp step can be added to a campaign. Daily limits show in the builder when you add WhatsApp steps.

  • Connection drops. WhatsApp limits active linked sessions. Reconnect from Settings.
  • Limits feel low. New accounts use lower warm-up caps for 14 days. See LinkedIn and WhatsApp outreach limits.
  • Messages going out in bursts. They shouldn’t. Wiggli paces sends with a 20-60 second gap by default.
  • WhatsApp lands best as a follow-up after a candidate has shown interest, not a cold first touch.
  • It’s a high-trust channel. A poorly targeted WhatsApp message damages reputation faster than a poorly targeted email.
  • Pick the number that matches how you work. Some recruiters connect the WhatsApp on their personal phone; others use a separate work phone with its own WhatsApp number for business contacts. Both work. The trade-off: candidates reply on whichever number you connect, so connect the one you actually want to be reachable on.
  • Replies arrive in WhatsApp on your phone, on the same number you connected.
