Your turn

Keep every action clear and accountable.

Keep when, where, and why each customer agreed to receive messages. Otobiz checks that permission before marketing sends and suppresses future marketing when a customer opts out.

  • Consent stored with basis, source, channel and purpose

  • Every grant and withdrawal kept, not overwritten

  • Opt-out keywords suppress future marketing

  • Suppression checked per recipient on every send

What keeps the work controlled

Consent with a purpose

One blanket permission is not enough. Consent is scoped to a channel and a purpose, so transactional messages and marketing are governed separately.

  • Transactional, marketing and general purposes
  • Channel scoped, so agreeing on one channel is not agreement on all
  • Basis and source recorded with the grant
  • The disclosure wording stored with the event

Opt-out that works without you

Customers do not read your unsubscribe instructions. They reply with a word. Common opt-out words are recognized by default and your own can be added.

  • Default opt-out words recognized out of the box
  • Business specific words alongside them
  • Automatic suppression of future marketing
  • Opt-in words for people who want back in
More capabilities

Capture the permission

Consent is recorded when it is given, with the basis, the source, the channel, the purpose and the wording that was shown.

Screen every send

Before a message goes, the recipient is checked against suppression and revoked consent for that channel and purpose. A failure skips them with a reason.

Honour the reply

A message containing an opt-out keyword suppresses future marketing for that contact without waiting for anyone to notice.

Keep the history

Every grant and every withdrawal is kept, so you can show what was agreed and when.

Suppression that is checked, not assumed

Suppression is applied to each recipient at the moment of sending, so it holds across campaigns, sequences, automation and scheduled messages alike.

  • Checked for broadcasts, sequences, automation and scheduled replies
  • Channel specific or global suppression
  • Blocked at the platform level treated as an opt-out
  • Skipped recipients recorded with a reason

Frequency and quiet hours

Consent is not a license to message constantly. Pacing settings cap how often a contact hears from you and keep sends out of the night.

  • Per contact marketing limits over a rolling window
  • Quiet hours in your own time zone
  • Recently engaged contacts treated differently from cold ones
  • Skip anyone already messaged in the last few hours

Deletion requests

A deletion request from Meta is acted on, and you can remove a customer's records yourself instead of raising a support ticket.

  • Meta's own deletion requests acted on
  • Removal cascades through conversations, messages and attachments
  • Every deletion logged with who did it

Good to know

  • Consent has to be genuinely collected. Nothing here manufactures a basis for an imported list.
  • Platform rules still apply on top, including template approval and conversation windows.
  • Suppression stops sending. It does not delete the contact or their history.

Questions buyers ask

What counts as consent for WhatsApp marketing?

The customer messaging you on WhatsApp, or a recorded marketing consent for that channel. An imported list on its own is not enough.

How are opt-outs detected?

Inbound messages are checked against a default set of opt-out words plus any you add. A match suppresses the contact from future marketing sends and records the change.

Can someone opt back in?

Yes. Opt-in words are recognized, and consent can be recorded again with its own event so the history shows both.

Is consent per channel?

Yes, and per purpose, so a person can accept order updates without accepting marketing.

More questions
What happens to suppressed contacts in a campaign?
They are skipped before sending and the reason is recorded, so the campaign result shows why the audience shrank.
Do automated messages respect consent?
Yes. Keyword replies, sequence steps, flow sends and scheduled messages all pass the same screening as a campaign.
Can I stop messages going out at night?
Yes. Quiet hours are set per business in your own time zone, and scheduled campaigns can follow each recipient's time zone.
Can I review the consent history?
Yes. Grants and revocations are appended with their wording and source, and related actions are written to the activity history.
