A WhatsApp drip campaign is an automated follow-up sequence that sends a contact several spaced messages after they take a set action. Most deals are lost to silence, not to a competitor. A drip sequence sends the second, third and fourth message on schedule and gets out of the way the moment the customer replies.
Included in the platform licence. Not a paid add-on.
The short version
WhatsApp drip campaign in brief
A WhatsApp drip campaign in WappBlaster is assembled in the automations builder from message steps separated by delays of any length, from minutes to weeks. Within this WhatsApp marketing platform, a sequence can start when a contact enters a pipeline stage, gains a tag, submits a form or hits a webhook, and it stops on exit conditions such as a reply, a purchase or a new tag, so nobody receives a nudge after they have already acted. The distinctive part is the link to pipeline boards: as steps run, the card can move, giving sales managers a live view of each lead. Branches can follow a tag, a field value or whether the previous message was read. Any step sent more than 24 hours after the customer last wrote has to be an approved template, while earlier steps may be free-form. Keep sequences to three to five messages and compare reads and replies per step to spot the one doing the work.
A WhatsApp drip campaign sends a planned series of messages on a schedule, hours or days apart, and ends once the contact replies, buys or is tagged.
WappBlaster builds drips with time-delay steps in its automations builder, starts them from a pipeline stage, tag, form or webhook, and updates the board as they run.
The quiet stage after a quote gets its nudges without a reminder list.
Timed messages cover the whole trial period.
Exit rules stop step four from reaching someone who already paid.
A carousel first, a plain reminder later, a coupon at the end.
A WhatsApp drip campaign is a timed sequence of messages sent automatically over days or weeks, rather than one broadcast. WappBlaster builds drips in the automations builder using time-delay steps, triggers them from a pipeline stage, a tag, a form submission or a webhook, and can update a pipeline board as the sequence progresses.

Straight answers about WhatsApp drip campaign.
A broadcast is one message to many people at one moment. A drip is a sequence of messages to one person over time, starting from when they entered it. Two contacts in the same drip can be at different steps.

Link to this answerOnly the steps that go out once 24 hours have passed since the customer last wrote to you. While that 24-hour window is still open, a step can be a free-form message.
Link to this answerFor sales follow-up, somewhere between three and five steps. People treat WhatsApp as a closer, more personal inbox than email, so each extra message pushes up the number who block you far more quickly.
Link to this answerDrips are built in the automations builder, which comes inside the flat platform licence. Each step that sends a template carries Meta's normal message charge at cost, so shorter sequences are also cheaper ones.
Link to this answerYes. Sequences are built from time-delay steps, start from a pipeline stage, tag, form or webhook, branch on tags or reads, and end on a reply, purchase or opt-out.
Link to this answerA three-step sequence timed thirty days, seven days and one day before expiry, with an exit as soon as the customer renews so nobody is reminded after paying.
Link to this answerYes. Branching can choose the next step depending on whether an earlier message was read, or on a tag or field value.
Link to this answerYes. A drip can run from any board stage, such as quoted, and update the card as the contact moves through the sequence.
Link to this answerYes. Each step can use a different template, so a sequence might open with a carousel, follow with a plain reminder and close with a coupon.
