How you work with your WhatsApp newsletter
In hellomateo you set up sign-up, build audiences from your customer data and track the reactions to your message after sending.
Win subscribers and record consent
In hellomateo you set up an opt-in procedure with your own keyword, confirmation message and success message.

Unsubscribe by sending “Stop” in the chat


Build audiences from your customer data
In hellomateo you create dynamic lists based on contact details, messages, orders or appointments. Orders and appointments usually come from your connected industry software; which data a system provides depends on the integration. The list view shows the existing consents per channel, and you can create a campaign for the selected list right there.

Messages with image, video, PDF and button
In hellomateo you create a message template with text and choose an image, video or PDF for the header. Variables let you address every customer personally, for example by first name if you keep it as a contact field, or by full name; a button leads to your offer page or appointment booking. Meta reviews the WhatsApp template, and you can send a test message before the campaign goes out.

Schedule sends and combine several channels
In marketing mode, campaigns in hellomateo go only to contacts with consent, and you set the send time yourself. From the Business package you can put several senders in an order, such as WhatsApp, email and letter. For each contact, hellomateo then picks one channel: the first one for which an address and their consent are available. Letter sending is an add-on in Business, one of the selectable features in Business Plus and included in Enterprise.
An always-on campaign sends a message at fixed times: daily, weekly, monthly or yearly. hellomateo determines the recipients anew from a dynamic list each time it runs, such as “Birthday today”.

See results down to the individual recipient
The hellomateo campaign report shows you for each recipient when a message was sent, delivered, read or recorded as an interaction. Clicks on link buttons count as interactions. The report shows unsubscribes after the campaign as the number of opt-outs, and you can export the report per recipient. If orders with an amount reach hellomateo, usually from your industry software, the list view shows the metric “Influenced revenue”: the value of orders from contacts on this list that were won within 90 days after a message via hellomateo.

What is a WhatsApp Business newsletter?
A WhatsApp Business newsletter is a personal message that your business sends to selected customers who have given their prior consent. With hellomateo you build recipient lists, design messages and manage sending in one place. You can narrow down audiences using existing contact data, orders or appointments and combine conditions. For example, you can invite customers to an event or present a new collection in fashion retail. hellomateo uses the official WhatsApp Business API and sends marketing messages via Meta's Marketing Messages API.
How does hellomateo support GDPR-compliant newsletter sending?
hellomateo supports GDPR-compliant sending of WhatsApp newsletters with confirmed consent, documented opt-in and an unsubscribe function. To send marketing messages, you choose the matching sending mode, which only includes contacts with marketing consent. You find the date and time of consent on the contact under “Details”, and the wording of the confirmation stays in the chat history. hellomateo provides a data processing agreement and runs its servers in Frankfurt. Your data is not used to train AI models.
How do I win subscribers for my WhatsApp newsletter?
With hellomateo you win subscribers for your WhatsApp newsletter through an opt-in procedure with your own keyword, QR code and sign-up link. First, you set the keyword, a double opt-in message with buttons to accept or decline, and the success message. Second, you download the QR code for your WhatsApp number and display it at the checkout, for example, or place the sign-up link on your website or invoice. Third, your customer sends the prepared keyword in WhatsApp and then confirms with the accept button that they want to receive your WhatsApp newsletter. After confirming, they receive the success message you set up. You can also invite existing customers to sign up with a request campaign, provided you are allowed to contact them on the chosen channel. The opt-in report shows your subscriptions as well as new and lost subscribers.
How can customers unsubscribe from my WhatsApp newsletter?
Customers unsubscribe from your WhatsApp newsletter in hellomateo by writing “Stop” or “Stopp” in the WhatsApp conversation. This message withdraws their consent to receive further marketing messages. In the hellomateo settings you store the confirmation message that is sent after the withdrawal. Mention the unsubscribe words in your message so that customers find the way to unsubscribe right away.
How much does a WhatsApp newsletter with hellomateo cost?
The cost of a WhatsApp newsletter with hellomateo is made up of your package, one-time fees for setup and training, and the variable Meta messaging fees. The WhatsApp newsletter feature is included in all packages, including opt-in, audience lists, link click tracking and reporting. Meta charges a separate fee per paid marketing message; hellomateo passes these fees on without a markup. Billing usually takes place directly between Meta and your business. Incoming messages are free. With an integration, your current software provider may charge additional fees of their own. You can find the package structure on the hellomateo pricing page, and the specific package prices and one-time costs in a meeting.
How often can I send a WhatsApp newsletter?
In hellomateo you decide how often you send your WhatsApp newsletter and can limit the monthly number of marketing messages per contact and channel. First, you set the sending limit for WhatsApp in the settings under “Restrictions & opt-out”. Second, you choose the sender number, the recipient list and an approved message template for your campaign. Third, you decide whether the campaign is sent immediately or at a scheduled time. The sending limit caps the frequency, while you set the occasion and timing of each individual campaign.
Can my WhatsApp newsletter contain images and buttons?
With hellomateo your WhatsApp newsletter can contain an image, a video or a PDF file as the header and a button that leads to your website, for example. In the message template you set the header, message text, footer and the action you want. For a personal greeting you insert a placeholder that hellomateo fills with the data of each contact when sending. You can use the first name if you keep it as a custom contact field and select it in the template. “Full name” is also available as a standard field. Meta reviews the template before it can be used; it is locked during the review. Before the campaign goes out, you can check the preview and send a test message.
How do I see what my WhatsApp newsletter achieved?
hellomateo shows you which messages of your WhatsApp newsletter were sent, delivered and read, and which interactions, link clicks and unsubscribes were recorded. Start by opening the report of the campaign. There you also find reached contacts and failed deliveries. In the recipient table you can then see the times of the recorded events and download the overview for further analysis. For an overview of several campaigns, choose the period and channel in the campaign overview. If orders with an amount reach hellomateo, the list view also shows “Influenced revenue”. This is the value of orders from contacts on this list that were won within 90 days after a message via hellomateo. The metric shows a link in time, not proof that an order came from the newsletter.
Should I send my newsletter via WhatsApp or email?
For your WhatsApp newsletter or email campaign with hellomateo, choose the channel your customers have agreed to and compare the results of your own campaigns. WhatsApp has an open rate of over 90 %, compared with around 22 % for email. These benchmarks are not a promise for the results of your business. From the Business package you combine WhatsApp and email in one campaign, and with letter sending booked also the letter. To do this, you set an order of senders. For each contact, hellomateo picks one channel: the first in your order for which an address and, in marketing mode, their consent are available. hellomateo does not send the same message in parallel over several channels. Instagram and Facebook are not channels for campaigns.
Can I send WhatsApp newsletters automatically?
hellomateo can send your WhatsApp newsletter every day at a set time to a dynamic recipient list. First, you set the conditions of the list, such as “Birthday today”. Second, you choose the sender number and the prepared message template. Third, you set the daily send time and activate the campaign. The selection of recipients follows the conditions of the list and requires well-maintained contact data. You can pause the running campaign if you want to interrupt automatic sending.
