Scheduling message helps users to avoid missing out on sending important texts and reminders to their contacts. It is especially useful for those who use WhatsApp for marketing. They can simply schedule messages to their customers for a specific date and time and make sure their updates and news reach their customers on time. In order to schedule WhatsApp messages on the desktop, I am going to use a free web extension called Blueticks. It is a dedicated extension for the Google Chrome browser which enables you to auto-send messages on WhatsApp. Let’s check out a step-by-step process to schedule WhatsApp messages through this web extension.
