Send a wedding gallery on WhatsApp

Before you start

• The gallery is published, and its photos have finished processing.
• The gallery has a client with a mobile number. A gallery made from a project takes the project's client.
• Sending from your studio's number needs a plan with WhatsApp (Starter, Pro and Studio, and the trial) and your number connected once. Without that, use "Open in WhatsApp" from your phone, step 4 below.

Connect your number once

1. In the studio app, open WhatsApp and email. The owner or an admin can connect.
2. Press Connect WhatsApp and finish Meta's sign-up for your business number.
3. The message templates are sent to Meta for review. The page shows each one's status: Approved, In review or Rejected.
4. Add a payment method in WhatsApp Manager. Meta bills your business for its conversations.

Messages then go from your number, not the platform's. Each plan has a monthly number of WhatsApp messages, shown under the WhatsApp panel.

Send the gallery

1. Open the gallery and go to its Share tab. It shows the client link with Copy and Open, and a QR code you can download.
2. Press Send on WhatsApp. The family gets a message from your number with the gallery's name and its link.
3. Check WhatsApp and email for the message's status: sent, delivered or read. A message that could not go has Send from my phone.
4. No WhatsApp connected? Press Open in WhatsApp. Your phone's WhatsApp opens with the client's number and the message filled in; press send.

With a PIN on the gallery, the message says the studio will share the PIN. Send the PIN separately, for example in a call.

After they open it

• They heart photos, keep a print list and comment, with no account. The first time, they give their name and a mobile number or email.
• When they press Send, you see their picks in the gallery's Picks view and you are told on WhatsApp.
• A closing date on the gallery stops the link after that day.
