Growing my WhatsApp group into a lively local community is the next milestone for my initiative. The entire member drive will hinge on inviting people directly from my contact list, so the work revolves around extracting, cleaning and segmenting those numbers, then sending personalised, opt-in invitations that respect WhatsApp’s anti-spam rules. Beyond simply boosting headcount, I care about sparking genuine discussion and interaction. That means strategic timing of the bulk invites, crafting friendly onboarding messages, and posting the first ice-breaker topics so new members feel welcome to speak up. Deliverables • A concise plan outlining how contacts will be imported and invitations dispatched • Execution of the bulk invite campaign (initial batch, with room to scale) • A starter engagement script—welcome text, poll or question ideas—to ignite conversation • Brief post-campaign report showing join rates and early engagement indicators Acceptance criteria • At least 80 % of targeted contacts receive the invite without triggering WhatsApp limits • A minimum of 50 engaged messages from newcomers within the first 72 hours Hands-on experience with WhatsApp bulk-messaging tools, CSV/Excel contact handling, and a clear grasp of Meta’s policies are essential to make this roll-out smooth and sustainable.
