Channels Overview

Learn about WhatsApp Channels (Newsletters) configuration and limitations.

WhatsApp Channels are a broadcast tool for users to send updates to subscribers. The Waplix Channel API lets you create, inspect, search, and subscribe to public newsletters.

Key Concepts

  • Channel JID: Channels use a unique JID formatted as [id]@newsletter.
  • Broadcasts: Unlike groups, channels are one-way broadcast environments where only admins can post.
  • Privacy: Subscriber phone numbers are not visible to other subscribers or the channel owner (except JID matching on interaction).
