In this video, you will learn how transmission drafts work in Wabb
A broadcast allows you to send a message to multiple recipients at once, reaching them individually. This is useful for sending important updates, promotions, or notifications to your users. The drafts section helps you save unfinished or duplicated broadcasts so you can edit and send them at a later time.
Accessing Broadcast Drafts
On your dashboard, go to the Broadcasts section by clicking on it from the main menu. This section will display Active and Scheduled Broadcasts, Drafts, and Broadcast History.

View Drafts:
Click on the Drafts tab. Here, you will see all the broadcasts that are in the draft stage, either because they were interrupted during creation or duplicated from the history.
The screenshot displays the list of draft broadcasts, which can be resumed and edited at any time.
2. Creating a Broadcast Draft:
Click on the Create New Broadcast button at the top right of the Broadcasts page. Fill in the required details like the broadcast name, select the flow from your saved flows, and choose the appropriate delay settings.

If you cannot complete the broadcast setup, simply close the broadcast creation window. The system will automatically save your progress as a draft. The draft will then appear in the Drafts tab, where you can resume and complete it later.
3. Edit a Draft:
In the Drafts tab, click on the three dots for one of the draft you wish to edit and then click on edit. This will open the broadcast creation window where you can modify the content, flows, or any other settings.

4. Duplicating Broadcast from History:
You can duplicate any previous broadcast from the History tab. Simply find the broadcast you wish to reuse, and click on the Duplicate option.

Once duplicated, the broadcast will automatically be saved in the Drafts tab, allowing you to edit or send it whenever you're ready.
5. Active & Scheduled tab:
The Active and Scheduled tab shows all broadcasts that are either currently running or have been scheduled for a specific date and time. This feature allows you to monitor the status of your broadcasts and make adjustments as needed. You can view the scheduled time for each broadcast and the number of recipients it will reach.
