# How do I set up and use the WhatsApp Message Sequencer to send messages in a specific order with SMSGatewayCenter?

The **WhatsApp Message Sequencer**, designed for the WhatsApp Business API, allows you to send messages sequentially to your recipients, either as business-initiated campaigns or user-initiated chatbot responses. Here’s how to set it up and use it on SMSGatewayCenter:

#### Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure you’ve completed these steps:

- **Option 1: Save and Approve Templates**
  Create and save all message templates you plan to use, and get them approved by Meta.
- **Option 2: Set Up Auto-Response Messages**
  If using a chatbot, save the auto-response messages you want to send in sequence.

#### Steps to Set Up the WhatsApp Message Sequencer

1. **Access the WhatsApp Message Sequencer Section**
   - Log in to your SMSGatewayCenter account at [https://unify.smsgateway.center/](https://unify.smsgateway.center/).
   - Navigate to the *WhatsApp Message Sequencer* section under your WhatsApp Business API settings in the dashboard.
2. **Create a New Message Sequence**
   - Click the *Add* button to start creating a new message sequence.
   - Provide an identifier for the sequence by adding a title or reminder (e.g., “Order Update Sequence”).
3. **Choose the Sequence Type**
   - *Campaign*: Select this to send a sequence of template-based messages initiated by your business.
   - *Chatbot*: Select this to send a sequence of messages triggered by user interactions via quick reply buttons.
4. **Set Up the Sequence**
   - **For Campaign Type**:
     - Choose the first approved template from the list of saved templates.
     - To add more templates to the sequence, click *Add Next Template Sequence*, select the next template, and repeat for each additional template.
   - **For Chatbot Type**:
     - Add the auto-response messages you want your chatbot to send in sequence.
5. **Save and Manage the Sequence**
   - Click *Save Changes* to save your message sequence.
   - Go to the *Manage WhatsApp Message Sequencer* section in your dashboard.
   - Click *Copy UUID* to copy the unique identifier for your sequence.
6. **Trigger the Sequence**
   - When sending template messages (for campaigns) or setting up quick reply buttons (for chatbots), paste the copied UUID into the *Postback ID* field.
   - For campaigns, the sequence will start when the campaign is launched. For chatbots, the sequence will trigger when a recipient clicks a quick reply button, sending messages one after the other in the defined order.

#### Important Note

If you manage multiple **[WhatsApp Business API](https://www.smsgatewaycenter.com/whatsapp-business-api/)**numbers under different Facebook Business Managers, avoid using template-based sequences. Differences in Meta’s API keys may prevent message delivery.

By using the WhatsApp Message Sequencer, you can deliver messages in a specific order, enhancing your communication strategy. For further assistance, contact our support team at contact @ smsgatewaycenter . com or call +912228657726.
