This May, we have now extended the Beta to all WhatsApp communities.
This means you can now see WhatsApp DM on Magic Reach which allows you to reach your audiences in their direct messages.
While this would normally cost money per message, we are giving all users 1,000 FREE messages to send directly to their community.
If you have further questions, please feel free to reach out to us or go to https://nas.io/whatsapp-limit-request-upgrade for additional messages.
What is WhatsApp <> Magic Reach?
Community Managers can now send WhatsApp direct messages to each of their community members with phone numbers added on nas.io. It is like a WhatsApp broadcast service - "reach ALLLL your members in 2 clicks".
Why use WhatsApp Direct Message on Nas.io?
Nas.io WhatsApp DMs get sent to up to 80% of the people you send it to. This is higher than the <20% email open rates or social media reach

WhatsApp Message Guidelines
Nas.io takes the safety of members on the platform very seriously to ensure that your community members have a secure and enjoyable experience, by putting in extra mechanisms to prevent distribution of harmful content through our messaging services.
Please kindly note that messages (via both WhatsApp and Email) containing possible fraud/phishing/scam or similar harmful content will be detected and blocked to subject for review by our team. If we confirm that you attempt to send out harmful content, your community will be blocked and you will be banned from using Nas.io forever.
The WhatsApp Direct Message is primarily designed for our community managers to interact directly with your members. Therefore, we have placed a limit on the number of messages that you can send to users that are neither members of your community on Nas.io or WhatsApp group, due to privacy concern.
FAQs
1. What analytics data will be available?
WhatsApp analytics will be available starting May 1, 2023.
2. Will the message be sent out under my Whatsapp number or under Nas.io WhatsApp account?
To streamline the process, the message will be sent out under Nas.io Official WhatsApp account. This account will be verified with a green tick by WhatsApp, so your member can feel safe that it is coming from your community via us. We understand that the process of obtaining a verified WhatsApp business number takes time and not all community managers will be able to obtain a number just yet, hence we want to remove this hassle for you.
The cost of your messages will be covered by us during the Beta phase, so it is completely free for you to use.
We will soon introduce the functionality to add your own WhatsApp business number.
3. How much does messaging cost?
It is currently free for all our community managers in our Beta list, without any limit till 1st May.
After 1st May, we will introduce a limit on the number of messages that can be sent. You can read more about limits and upgrade here.

6. Are emojis supported?
Yes, WhatsApp supported emojis 😁🥰😎🤩🤯 Feel free to use them and make your message fun!
7. Can the members reply to the message and can I see their replies?
Currently the feature is designed to be a one-way broadcast. We do add a footer in the message to inform your members that this is a broadcast via Nas.io and hence they should reach out to their community managers directly shall they have any question.
8. Are my messages secured via Nas.io?
We use the Whatsapp Business API and all messages are secured under WhatsApp standard. We also take security seriously at Nas.io to make sure not just messages but all users' data are tightly secured and protected.
