How do I send a deal to all of them?
copy and paste I guess? altho I know its not an effective option as it will be too time consuming if you have a lot of chats. but maybe there is a way send a text multiple chats that im not aware of- perhaps someone who is more WhatsApp savvy can advise on this.

The limit of 256 people makes that difficult.

Would love to know how. Forwarding every deal manually to hundreds of groups sounds like a nightmare.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

It looks like he saves each number as a contact and then he sends it to all his contacts because I'm not on a group

So now I'm going to enter 90,000 individual contacts?
Is there even a contact all button?

@Someone :) has to develop a system where people can add there number to a database, and to those numbers the messages will be sent.

maybe create a DansDeals WhatsApp chat? would love to be added if it exists already  ;)
And have a live Q&A on every group as there is no such thing as a channel.
Oh definitely, that's something there's a severe lack of on whatsapp ;)

On a broadcast only ppl that saved you in their contacts get it...

Would love to know how.
Have a google form that people enter their contact info, saved into a google doc. Which will sync with google contacts, which will then sync on an android phone.

How can you make it so that all the numbers are masked? Who wants their number to be seen (and copied) by hundreds of people?
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

There are groups that use some sort of bot to copy all messages and send them to other groups. There are many groups that have many many groups and I don't believe they're copying and pasting that many times..

Here's telegram chat links that you can advertise the dans deals group on @Z9NetworkBot and @FrumLinks_bot

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.
