You can connect any Whatsapp account, but we recommend connecting a separate/new Whatsapp account for marketing purposes. You can also connect multiple Whatsapp accounts with SMSrush depending on the subscribed plan.
Sign in to your SMSrush.net Account.
Click on "HOSTS" in the Left Sidebar menu.
When you click on HOSTS drop-down menu will appear then click on "WHATSAPP"
A new page will be loaded where you'll see the list of connected accounts, if you're adding a WHATSAPP ACCOUNT for the first time then you'll not notice any connected Whatsapp accounts. To connect or add a new Whatsapp account click on the "ADD ACCOUNT" Button.
A new window will pop up, giving you the option to link a Whatsapp account. Click on the "LINK ACCOUNT" button which will give you the QR code to scan it from your Whatsapp.
You have 15 seconds to scan this QR code to link your Whatsapp account. Open Whatsapp on your mobile and go to settings to Add a device/ link a device.
In the below screenshots, you can see how you can add a device when you open the Whatsapp app on your phone. We have added the screenshots for both Android and iPhone as well.
Whatsapp Allows you to connect up to 4 devices. If you already have connected your whatsapp account to 4 devices you can remove the connected device.
Once the Whatsapp Account is connected the page will automatically reload on your computer and it'll show you the connected device.
You can Edit each Whatsapp account to disable/enable receiving messages and random sending intervals. By default receiving messages and random sending intervals are enabled. To edit your WhatsApp account click on the pencil icon as shown in the below screenshot.
Random Sending Interval is a feature that helps you to control the sending speed. It's useful to protect your account from getting blocked. You can insert the desired minimum and maximum time interval in seconds so that after sending every message it'll send the next message after a certain number of seconds. If you want to disable it you do that but it's not recommended.
After making changes don't forget to press the "SUBMIT" button.
Click on WhatsApp in the Left Sidebar Menu
