Setup guides & how-tos
Short, practical guides to connect your channels, understand sending limits, and start sending from OttaBlast without putting your accounts at risk. More articles are on the way — these are the two you need first.
Pick a guide to get started
Each guide walks you through getting the credentials and pasting them into OttaBlast, step by step.
Get a permanent WhatsApp access token
Create a Meta app, set up a System User, generate a never-expiring Cloud API token, and learn the limits that keep your WhatsApp number safe.
Read the guide Email / SMTPConnect your email through SMTP
Find your SMTP details, authenticate your domain, check provider sending limits, and connect email so your blasts reach the inbox.
Read the guideDeliverability is earned before your first send
Email and WhatsApp both reward senders who set things up properly and punish those who don't. A mailbox that isn't authenticated lands in spam; a WhatsApp number without a permanent token stops sending mid-campaign. These guides exist so your channels are connected correctly the first time, with the right credentials, sending limits, and consent rules in place.
Each walkthrough is written for non-technical teams. You'll find exactly where to click, which values to copy, and the common mistakes that get accounts throttled or suspended — so you can blast with confidence instead of guesswork.
More guides on segments, campaign reporting, and the simple CRM are on the way. In the meantime, the two guides above cover everything you need to connect Email Blast and WhatsApp Blast and send your first campaign safely.
