ChatGPT Prompts for WhatsApp Marketing: 12 Messages to Send

ChatGPT prompts for WhatsApp marketing help you turn a real offer into short broadcasts, follow-ups and quick replies that customers actually read. WhatsApp sits next to messages from friends and family, so anything that feels like spam gets muted or blocked. The 12 prompts below keep every message short, true to your offer, and sent only to people who agreed to hear from you.

The flagship is the WhatsApp marketing prompt for broadcasts, follow-ups and replies. Paste your offer, your opt-in list and the questions customers ask, and it writes the whole set plus a consent check.

Rules to know before you write

Two setups matter. In the WhatsApp Business app, broadcast lists send one message to many customers, but WhatsApp's help center says only contacts who saved your number in their address book receive it, and replies come back as normal private chats. On the WhatsApp Business Platform, used through a provider, Meta's developer docs say you may only message people who opted in, and outside the 24-hour window after a customer's last message you can only send approved templates with a body of up to 1024 characters. Either way, get consent first and make it easy to opt out.

Build your list

1. Opt-in line

Write one sentence for my [counter sign, receipt or website] that asks customers to message [business] on WhatsApp and save our number. Say what they get and how often: [frequency].

2. Welcome message

Write a welcome reply for new subscribers to [business] that confirms what they signed up for, how often we write and how to opt out.

3. List segments

Here are my customer types: [types]. Suggest up to 4 broadcast lists and what each list should hear about.

Write broadcasts

4. Offer broadcast

Write a WhatsApp broadcast under 500 characters for this offer: [offer details]. Put the offer in the first line, copy prices and dates exactly, add one action and an opt-out line.

5. New product drop

We just added [product] at [price]. Write a short broadcast that says what it is, who it is for and how to order, in this voice: [past message].

6. Event invite

Write a broadcast inviting customers to [event] on [date] at [place]. Include what happens, whether to reply to reserve, and an opt-out line.

7. Template version

Rewrite this broadcast as a WhatsApp marketing template body with numbered variables like {{1}}, under 1024 characters, with a sample value for each variable: [message].

Follow up and reply

8. Deadline reminder

Write a reminder for [offer] that ends on [date]. Use only the facts here: [offer details]. No new urgency claims.

9. Reply to a maybe

A customer replied "[reply]" to my broadcast but has not ordered. Write a friendly one-to-one reply that answers them and asks one question to complete the order.

10. Quick replies

Turn these questions and answers into WhatsApp quick replies, each with a short shortcut word: [questions and answers]. Use only my answers.

11. Order confirmation

Write an order confirmation for [business] that repeats the item, price, pickup or delivery time and how to change the order: [order details].

Check before you send

12. Consent and facts check

Check these WhatsApp messages: [messages]. Confirm each goes only to opted-in customers, has an opt-out, and contains no price, discount or deadline that is not in [offer details].

Worked example

A neighborhood bakery had about 180 customers who signed a counter sheet for bakery news on WhatsApp. The offer was Thanksgiving pie pre-orders: pumpkin $24, apple crumb $26, order by November 21, pickup November 24 or 25. The prompt wrote a broadcast with the offer in the first line and an opt-out, a reminder two days before the deadline, a one-to-one reply for customers who answered but did not order, and quick replies for gluten-free, Thanksgiving Day pickup and orders over the limit. Because the bakery used the app, it skipped the template step and reminded the owner that broadcasts only reach people who saved the shop's number.

Variations

• Service business: swap pies for appointment slots and add a booking link.
• Online shop: add your catalog link and a restock alert list.
• Other languages: ask for the broadcast in each language your customers use, then have a native speaker check it.

Practical tips

• Send to your own phone first and read it the way a customer will.
• Keep to the frequency you promised in your opt-in line.
• Remove anyone who asks to stop the same day.
• Check WhatsApp's Business Messaging Policy and your local marketing laws. This is copywriting help, not legal advice.
