Introduction
WhatsApp Status is one of the most underutilized tools for staying visible, announcing offers, and connecting with your audience. But posting manually every time isn’t scalable. That’s why we created the Scheduled Status Feature—so you can plan and automate your status updates with precision and ease.
What This Feature Does
With Scheduled Status, you can:
- 🖼️ Post images, videos, or text as WhatsApp Status updates
- 🕒 Schedule status content to go live at an exact date and time
- 📋 Manage your status queue from a single, clean dashboard
- 🔄 Preview the full status content before publishing
- 📎 Attach captions to media to enhance context and clarity
- ✏️ Edit or reschedule status posts before they’re sent
- 📴 Send statuses even if your phone or browser is offline
- 📱 Ensure compatibility across all devices and WhatsApp versions
- 🔐 Publish securely via your active WhatsApp session
- 🔔 Monitor status delivery and publishing time with visual feedback
It’s WhatsApp Status—but smarter, faster, and completely automated.
How It Works
- Open your SendOnTime dashboard
- Go to the Status section
- Upload your status content (image, video, or text)
- Add an optional caption
- Set the exact time and date for publishing
- Save the status to your schedule queue
Your status will be posted exactly on time—even if you’re offline or away.
Pro Tip: Batch schedule all your weekly announcements on Sunday night—and automate the rest of your week.
