Prepare Your First Large Launch

You have a large launch coming up and need to prepare your WhatsApp group structure in advance. This guide will help you get ready for launch day.

Before Launch: Planning

1. Define Your Expected Volume

Answer these questions:

  • How many leads do you expect in the first 48 hours?
  • How many WhatsApp groups do you already have created?
  • What is the total capacity of your groups (how many people can join)?

Tip: Your distribution system works best when you have more capacity than you expect from traffic. If you expect 5,000 leads and have 20 groups with 250 slots each, you have 5,000 total slots - a perfect match.

2. Structure Your Groups

Prepare your groups in advance:

  • Create new groups if needed
  • Clean up old groups that may have inactive members
  • Organize by segment if it applies (e.g., groups for different regions, offers, or interest levels)

How many groups to create?

  • For medium launches (500-2,000 leads): 5-10 groups
  • For large launches (2,000-10,000 leads): 10-20 groups
  • For giant launches (10,000+ leads): 20+ groups with VIP monitoring

Pre-Launch Configuration

3. Create Your Redirector

Create the smart link that will be used in all your promotional materials.

  1. Choose a memorable URL suffix
  • Example: your-product-launch or brand-name
  1. Use a clear description for your internal organization
  • Example: “Product X Launch 2026”

4. Configure Distribution Mode

Choose the best strategy for your launch:

To create urgency (Sequential)

  • Use “Fill first available first” mode
  • Perfect for short-term launches where you want to create a sense of exclusivity
  • Works with ads like “Group 1 is full, join Group 2!”

To balance teams (Balance)

  • Use “Distribute equally between groups” mode
  • Ideal if you have multiple people or teams managing groups
  • Ensures no one gets overloaded

For large volume launches (Random)

  • Use “Distribute randomly” mode to keep everything balanced without much effort
  • Best option for high-volume launches where simplicity is priority

5. Add All Your Groups

Add all the groups you prepared:

  1. Create a redirector
  2. Click “View”
  3. Go to the “Add group” section
  4. For each group:
  • Paste the invite link
  • Give the group a name for your internal organization
  • Enter how many slots are already filled (if you know)
  1. Click “Create” and repeat

Pro tip: If you have many groups, you can add them in one step using the bulk add option (available in paid plans).

6. Configure Slot Limits

Define how many people each group can accommodate:

  1. On the redirector, go to “Limit number of users per group”
  2. Enter the maximum number (ex: 250)
  3. Click “Update”

Important: Set a limit slightly smaller than WhatsApp’s limit (around 1024). We recommend 250-500 per group for better engagement.

Launch Day

1. Two Hours Before

  • Verify that all your groups are still functioning
  • Test that all invite links work
  • Your URL: open it in a new tab to confirm it works
  • You will be automatically redirected to the first group with available slots

2. Start the Campaign

Start with smaller increments and observe:

For new launches:

  • Start with 10-20% of budget
  • Monitor capacity as you grow
  • Add more groups when capacity passes 80%

Monitor in real time:

  • Watch occupancy rates during launches
  • Adjust budget based on results
  • Add more groups when necessary

3. During Launch

  • Track key metrics: Ad CTR vs. conversion CTR in groups
  • Watch for alerts: The system notifies you when slots are running out
  • Add more capacity in real time: If occupancy passes 80-90%, add groups
  • Adjust ad budget: Scale what works, pause what does not

4. End of Day (24 hours after)

  • Compare results with initial objectives
  • Identify which channels and segments worked best
  • Document learnings for next launch
  • Prepare post-sale groups for leads that entered

Post-launch Analysis

From launch day:

  1. Compare results with your initial goals
  2. Identify which channels and segments worked best
  3. Document what worked and didn’t
  4. Prepare for next launch based on learnings

Optimization Based on Results

  • Added more capacity: Plan for 30% more capacity if needed
  • Distribution modes: Test different modes and see what works for your audience
  • Contingency: Configure a contingency page for when slots run out
  • Metrics tracking: Track conversions efficiently

Advanced Strategies

For Marketing Agencies

  • Use Pre-Launch campaign to fill test groups
  • Configure separate redirectors by audience segment
  • Use trackers to identify which channels bring higher quality leads

For Recurring Launches

  • Keep a separate redirector for each offer or product
  • Create new groups and clean old ones between launches
  • Use distribution mode configured for each offer type

For International Launches

  • If you have audiences in different time zones, use different groups for each region
  • Configure separate redirectors for each market if necessary

When to Upgrade

If your launch is very large (10,000+ leads), consider:

  • Essential plan: For more control over how leads are distributed
  • VIP plan: For automatic participant monitoring, without needing manual counting
