👋 What is this app?

This app lets you send official WhatsApp messages to many people at once — like an event reminder or an offer — using your Vincera Sports WhatsApp Business number. You pick a ready-made message ("template"), choose who to send it to, fill in the blanks, and hit send. It also keeps a record of every send.

WhatsApp only allows businesses to send pre-approved message formats. So the flow is always: create/approve a template → send it to your list.

🚀 Send your first campaign (quick start)

1. Open Templates and click Sync now to pull your approved WhatsApp templates.
2. Go to New Send and pick the template you want to send.
3. Add your audience — upload a list, paste numbers, or add them one by one.
4. If the template has blanks (like a name), fill them — one value for everyone, or a different value per person from your list.
5. If the template has a photo/file at the top, add the image link.
6. Review and press Send. Keep the tab open until it finishes.

📄 Templates

Templates are your message formats. WhatsApp must approve them before you can send.

• Sync now — fetches your approved templates from WhatsApp. They also refresh on their own.
• + New Template — build your own: a heading, the message body, an optional footer, and buttons. Words in double braces like {{1}} are blanks you fill at send time. A live preview shows exactly how it'll look. Press Submit to Meta to send it for approval.
• Save draft — not ready to submit? Save it and finish later. Drafts appear at the top of the Templates page; click Edit & submit to continue.
• Status — APPROVED means you can send it; PENDING is awaiting WhatsApp's review; REJECTED means it needs changes.

📨 New Send

This is the 5-step wizard to send a campaign:

• 1 · Template — choose an approved template.
• 2 · Audience — who receives it. Bulk upload a spreadsheet (download the sample sheet to get the format), Paste numbers, or Add one manually. Invalid or duplicate numbers are removed automatically.
• 3 · Parameters — fill the template blanks. Common = same value for everyone; Column = a different value per person taken from your uploaded sheet; Upload = attach a file and use its link.
• 4 · Attachment — only if the template starts with a photo/video/document. Upload it or paste a public link.
• 5 · Send — see the recipient count and the estimated time, then send. A live bar shows how many were sent vs failed.

📇 Contacts

Everyone you send to is automatically saved here (their name too, if your list had one). You don't have to add contacts manually. Use Export Excel (CSV) to download the full list.

📊 Campaigns

A history of every send. Click View on any row to see the full breakdown — who it was sent to, who succeeded, and who failed (with the reason). You can download the failed list as Excel to retry or check those numbers.

🖼️ Assets

Your media library. Any image/file you upload in the app is stored here. Click Copy link to reuse a file's link in a template or attachment, instead of uploading it again.

👥 Users

Controls who is allowed to sign in. Add a person's exact Google account email and they can log in; anyone not on the list sees a "Not authorized" message. You can't remove yourself, so you never get locked out.

⚙️ Settings

One-time setup, normally done already. It holds your WhatsApp connection details and Cloudinary (image hosting) details. If sending or uploads stop working, this is the place to check. Your secret token is stored securely and never shown to anyone who isn't signed in.

💡 Good to know

• Keep the tab open while a campaign is sending — it runs in your browser, so closing the tab stops it.
• Marketing vs Utility — WhatsApp decides a template's category from its wording. Promotional content becomes "Marketing"; reminders/confirmations about something the person already did can be "Utility".
• Sending is paced to stay within WhatsApp's limits, so large lists take a few minutes.
• Numbers are cleaned automatically — Indian 10-digit numbers get the country code (91) added for you.
