Your number is safe with us
We detect your number's history, set smart limits automatically, and let you adjust them. Up to 100 messages per number per day — need more? Just add more numbers. Every message is paced with human-like behaviour so WhatsApp never flags your account.
Back to WhatsApp IntegrationWe know your number isn't new
Most recruiters connect numbers they've used for years. The moment you scan the QR code, we check your number's existing conversation history and set limits that match its credibility — no unnecessary warmup for established numbers.

Brand new number with no track record. We protect it with a gradual ramp-up.
This happens in seconds. After you scan the QR code and your number connects, we check your existing conversations, determine your tier, and set your starting limits — all before you send your first campaign message. No forms, no manual setup.
We set smart defaults. You stay in control.
Every connected number has a Limits tabin its device settings. We recommend safe starting values based on your number's credibility, but you can adjust them any time within our safety cap.
Daily limit
Set how many messages this number can send per day. We suggest a value based on credibility — you can raise it up to the cap.
Hourly limit
Controls how quickly messages go out within a given hour. Prevents bursts that could trigger WhatsApp's spam detection.
Warmup toggle
Automatically on for fresh numbers, off for established ones. Override it if you know your number's history.
Reset to recommended
Changed your mind? One click re-runs the credibility check and resets everything to our recommended values.
Per-number independence
Each number has its own limits, its own credibility tier, and its own warmup progress. Completely independent.
Every message passes through two checkpoints
Before any message leaves your account, it clears two independent layers. Even if one layer is lenient, the other catches it.
Instant validation
The moment a message is queued, the system checks your daily limit. If you've already hit your cap for today, the message is held for tomorrow.
What it checks
- Messages sent today vs. your configured daily cap
- Warmup stage (if enabled)
- Device connection health
Smart pacing
Even within your daily limit, messages are spread out naturally. Hourly caps prevent bursts, and every message includes typing indicators and cooldown pauses that mimic real human behaviour.
What it controls
- Messages per hour vs. your configured hourly cap
- Cooldown between recipients (15–45s)
- Typing duration & read receipts
Your account looks human because it behaves like one
Rate limits alone aren't enough. WhatsApp also looks at how messages are sent. Our messaging engine replicates the subtle patterns of a real person using their phone.
Typing indicators that match message length
Short messages get quick typing. Long messages get longer typing. Just like a real person composing a message on their phone.
Cooldown pauses between recipients
After sending to one person, the system waits 15–45 seconds before messaging the next. During warmup, pauses are longer (30–90 seconds) to look even more natural.
Read-before-reply pattern
When a conversation is ongoing, messages are marked as read before a reply is sent — exactly how you'd use WhatsApp yourself.
Longer pauses for media messages
Sending a photo or document? The system takes a bit longer to 'prepare' it, just like you would when attaching a file.
The result:To WhatsApp's detection systems, your campaign messages are indistinguishable from normal personal conversations. That's why agencies using Recruitly don't get banned — the messaging pattern simply doesn't trigger any red flags.
Messages arrive when people are awake
Nobody wants a WhatsApp message at 3am. Every message respects the recipient's local business hours — automatically.
Timezone detection
We detect the recipient's timezone from their phone number country code — covering 173 countries. No manual setup needed.
Automatic holding
Messages queued outside business hours are held and released automatically when the recipient's working day begins. Nothing is dropped.
Weekend controls
Campaigns can be configured to skip weekends entirely. Messages hold until Monday morning in the recipient's timezone.
Need more volume? Add more numbers.
WhatsApp sees individual numbers, not accounts. Each number gets its own 100/day cap. Campaigns automatically balance messages across all your connected numbers — no single number ever gets overloaded.

Automatic routing
The system picks the best available number for each message based on remaining capacity and connection health. You don't manage routing.
Health monitoring
If a device disconnects, messages are instantly rerouted to healthy numbers. Zero manual intervention.
We monitor every message and recover automatically
Things go wrong — devices disconnect, networks blip, queues stall. Our system detects and fixes these issues before you even notice.
Stale queue recovery
If a message gets stuck (device temporarily offline, network issue), the system retries on a healthy device or re-queues it for the next window.
Smart message expiry
Messages that can't be delivered within their time window are safely expired rather than sent late. Yesterday's campaign message doesn't arrive at an awkward time today.
Hourly health checks
A background process runs every hour to verify queue health, device connections, and limit counters. Any anomaly is corrected automatically.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about how we protect your WhatsApp number.
What happens if I hit my daily limit?
Remaining messages in your campaign are held in a queue and automatically resume the next day. Nothing is lost — delivery just continues when your limit resets.
Can I adjust my rate limits?
Yes. Every number has a Limits tab in its device settings where you can adjust your daily limit (up to 100/day) and hourly limit (up to 20/hr). We set smart defaults based on your number's history, but you're in control.
How does credibility detection work?
When you connect a number, we check how many existing WhatsApp conversations it has. A number with hundreds of chats is clearly established — it gets high limits immediately. A brand new number with no history gets a gradual warmup. This happens automatically in seconds.
I've used this number for years. Will it start with low limits?
No. If your number has 50 or more existing chats, it's classified as Established and starts at 80/day with no warmup. Most recruiters connecting their personal numbers fall into this category.
What happens to messages sent outside business hours?
They're held in a queue and delivered automatically when business hours resume in the recipient's timezone. No messages are dropped.
Can I skip the warmup for a new number?
We don't recommend it. The warmup exists because WhatsApp monitors numbers that suddenly start bulk-sending. But you can adjust your limits in the Limits tab if you want to go faster within the 100/day cap.
What if my WhatsApp device goes offline?
The system detects when a device disconnects and automatically routes pending messages to other healthy devices. Stale messages are recovered by hourly health checks, and anything that can't be delivered within its time window is safely expired rather than sent late.
How do I send more than 100 messages a day?
Connect more numbers. Each number has its own independent 100/day limit. Connect 5 numbers and you can send 500/day. Connect 10 for 1,000/day. Campaigns automatically balance messages across all your numbers.
