What is Email Marketing?
Email marketing is a powerful marketing tool and a most effective way to connect with customers and strengthen your relationship with them. Email marketing allows you to promote products and services, send updates, invites, or any other information you want your customers to know. Email marketing is anti-spam, consisting of consensual communication with each of your customers.
Why should I use email marketing?
Email marketing allows you to communicate with a large number of customers – both existing and potential, at a relatively low cost. It allows you to convey your message to your customers without requiring them to actively search for your message. It also provides you easy tracking of delivered message, and its recipients’ response to it.

Contacts and Groups
There are 2 options for managing contacts in inwise system:
1. Manage contacts and groups (internal source) – The most popular way for businesses and organizations who choose to manage contact lists in inwise. We recommended to reading
he guide managing and segmenting contacts.
2. Manage contacts and groups (external source) – Organizations that maintain a database (SQL in its various versions) can connect inwise system with their database without to
export and import data between diffrent systems.
How to import contacts?
You can import contacts in one of the following ways:
- Bulk import: upload a CSV/Excel file with your contacts.
- Manually: If you want to import a small amount of contacts, you can add them manually. If you want to enter email addresses only, you can entering all your contact email addressees together, separated by comma. Want to enter additional information on each contact? You can enter them manually one by one in the new contact area.
- Connecting to external database: You can import a contact from an external database using an API connection. This options has advantages and disadvantages: The advantage is allowing you to manage the contacts in groups. The disadvantage is that using this option, some features will be unavailable, including remove from group, duplication and more.
- Import from Outlook: this is the least recommended option due to security limitations posing difficulties on the import process. In this case, we recommend exporting your contacts to a CSV/Excel file, and importing it to the system, as described in option 1 above.
Can I add contacts to more than one group?
Definitely. You can choose in the contact person area all the groups you wish to add the specific contact to. Sending a newsletter to more than one group, contacts included in more than one of these groups – will receive the newsletter one time only, as the system eliminates duplicate delivery automatically. This last feature does not apply when using external groups/contacts.
If the contact appears in more than one group, will he receive the mailing more than once?
No. An email campaign will be sent to each contact only once, even if contact appears in different groups and for each group the mailing is sent separately.
How to edit a contact’s details (email/phone number/name)?
Type the contact’s details (name or email address) in the search field. After you’ve located him, edit his personal details.
If you’ve encountered an incorrect email address in a statistic report, you can go directly from the report to the contact area for editing by clicking the ‘edit’ button.
When I adding a new contact to a group, the system reports that he is already exist. why?
In this case, there’s a good chance this contact already exists in another group. Try locating the contact using the search field (at the top part of the screen). Found him? Great. Now add him to the relevent group. If you have a large number of contacts you wish to add to a new group, consider importing them via a CSV/Excel file.
I do not see all of the contact details in the group page. Why?
On the group page, only the default fields appear to prevent a table full of details.
You can customize the table by clicking the the “Display fields and search” button, select the field you want to add to the table in the “Available fields” pane and click the < to move it to the "Display fields and search" panel

[av_toggle title='How to define a multiple select field for contacts?' tags='' av_uid='av-43vh25r' custom_id='' sc_version='1.0']
Only Field # 20 (from fields setting screen) is defined as a multiple selection field.
To defined that field, click on the little man icon in the upper right menu and select "Fields Setting".

[/av_toggle]
[av_toggle title='I imported an Excel file that contained contact information, but only some of the details were updated, why?' tags='' av_uid='av-4319b7j' custom_id='' sc_version='1.0']
It is reasonable to assume that the contacts whose details were not updated are contacts that already existed in the system and that a quick import was made. The purpose of the quick import is to import new contacts (including their details) into the system, or add existing contacts to a new list (without updating details). To update the existing contact information you should import the file in slow import.
I imported contacts, but updated were less than the original number, Why?
There are several possible reasons:
- The file consisted of duplicated contacts, meaning – more than one contact under the same email address.
- Some of the contacts have an incorrect email address.
- In case of slow import, the system checks 2 key fields: email and phone. There may be conflicts between these fields.
Conflict resolution is accomplished by logging into the import archive and viewing the relevant import report. Clicking the “conflicts” button will resolve the conflict and update the number of contacts for the group.
I imported a CSV file, but some of the fields were not updated, Why?
There may be two reasons for this:
1. The field is not mapped during import.
2. A file may have a field that does not exist in the system. In this case, a new field system must be created.
More information can be found in the guide – Contacts information fields.
When I imported a CSV file, I get the following message: "The given value of type String from the data source cannot be converted to type bigint of the specified target column", Why?
Typically, the message above is received as a result of field mismatch, for example – entering letters or characters that are not numbers in a number field (i.e. a phone number set as a number field). What you do is re-import the contact file, and map the fields from the file in accordance with the fields in the system.
Why can’t I import a contact file in Excel format?
Please try the following solutions:
- Make sure the file name ends with .csv. If not, edit the file name / file format accordingly.
- Check if there is an illegal character or sign in one of the columns.
- If the file is above 10MB, split it into two separate files.

Your recipients choosing to unsubscribed are documented and classified as such in the system.

Importing unsubscribed contacts, there are clear rules regarding the Excel file format. The Email column should be the first column, and the column header must be – Email – in English only. Also, the first line must be a title row.
What are the reasons for removal from a contact list?
There are three main types of removal from the contact list:

inwise assists throughout the process.
From which number will the WhatsApp messages be sent?
- It is possible to purchase a virtual number through inwise, from which messages will be sent.
- You can use a mobile phone number and/or landlines that you already have, as long as it meets the following conditions:
- It is not associated with any personal or business WhatsApp account.
- SMS messages or calls can be received on this number, even from a U.S. number with the prefix 1+ (for verification code purposes).
- It is not associated with a call center.
Why does the content of the template (message) need to be approved by WhatsApp?
WhatsApp wishes to protect its users and therefore any content sent by marketers requires its approval.
Each template is sent for approval.
The text of the approved message can be templated and contain parameters (personal fields) that may vary from one message to the next.
Is there a limit to the number of characters per message?
WhatsApp recommends sending messages that contain up to one thousand characters.
How to send a template for approval?
You can send the content of the message for which you wish to receive approval to our support team who will handle the approval of your message by WhatsApp. It takes up to 24 hours to get the approval. WhatsApp may require a change in the content of the message.
How many messages can be sent?
WhatsApp limits the number of contacts to whom messages can be sent each day (every 24 hours) according to the account rating, however it does not limit the number of messages that can be sent to each contact.
WhatsApp rates each account according to four levels of sending:
Tier 1 – Sending to up to 1,000 contacts per day (each new account)
Tier 2 – Sending to up to 10,000 contacts per day
Tier 3 – Sending to up to 100,000 contacts per day
Tier 4 – Sending an unlimited number of messages.
Each new account starts from the first level (Tier 1) and moves up to the next level automatically as the number of messages it sends increases and its positive reputation is maintained.
*This limitation does not exist in case the contact person starts the conversation.
How do you switch from one sending level to the next?
Switching between the first tier and the second tier is made automatically after sending 1,000 messages within up to one week.
For example: if you send 700 messages on the first day and 300 messages to other contacts on the second day, on the third day you will automatically move up to the second tier (allowing you to send up to 10,000 messages per day).
Switching between the second and third tier is made automatically when you send 20,000 messages within up to one week.
Switching from the third to the fourth tier is made automatically when you send 100,000 messages within up to one week.
inwise has no control or influence over the rating results or the reputation of the sender.
What happens if I exceed my sending level?
In case of exceeding the number of messages, WhatsApp will block the exceeding messages.
It is highly recommended to adhere to the daily sending limits, as there is also a charge for sending extra messages.
What factors can prevent moving to the next level of sending?
WhatsApp also rates the quality of messages sent from each account.
Messages that have been classified as ‘spam’ or have been blocked by the clients, will damage the reputation of the sender and prevent them from switching from one sending level to the next.
How is the number of sent messages calculated?
There are 4 business-initiated conversation categories:
1. Utility conversations (operational) – Facilitate a specific, agreed-upon request or transaction or update to a customer about an ongoing transaction, including post-purchase notifications and recurring billing statements
2. Authentication conversations – Enable businesses to authenticate users with one-time passcodes, potentially at multiple steps in the login process (e.g., account verification, account recovery, integrity challenges)
3. Marketing conversations – Include promotions or offers, informational updates, or invitations for customers to respond / take action.
4. Service conversations – all user-initiated conversations will be categorized as service conversations, which help customers resolve enquiries.
WhatsApp counts by the number of individual contacts to whom the messages are sent.
Conversation charges will be based on template category. When a template is delivered, it opens a new conversation of that category for 24 hours and incurs the charge of that conversation category, unless the template is delivered during an open conversation of that category. For example, if a utility conversation is open and a marketing template is delivered within that open conversation, a new, separate marketing conversation is opened and marketing conversation charge is initiated.
However, sending multiple templates of the same category within an open conversation will not incur additional charges. For example, a business can send multiple utility templates in an open utility conversation with no additional charges.
How can the contact list be imported into the system?
The contact list can be imported into your inwise account using a CSV file, copy/paste from Excel, or from external databases.
Is it possible to send messages with personal information to the contacts (with first name, date of birth, etc.)?
Yes, you can integrate personal fields in messages, information you have collected about your contacts and that have been updated in the inwise system.
The wording of the message sent to WhatsApp for approval can be templated and contain parameters that will change from one message to the next.
