Scheduling · WhatsApp Web
Schedule WhatsApp messages from your computer
WhatsApp has no schedule button. Kaption adds one to WhatsApp Web and the Kaption desktop app: write the message, pick the date and time, and it goes out on its own.
Write it now, send it at the right time
A birthday at 8 AM, an invoice reminder on Monday morning, a reply to a client in another time zone. Scheduling lets you write while it is on your mind and deliver at an hour that suits the other person.
How to schedule a message
- 02
Open the chat
Open the 1:1 conversation in WhatsApp Web or the desktop app.
- 03
Write and pick a time
Type the message, choose the date and time, and confirm. The time is your computer’s local time.
- 04
Keep the computer on
Kaption sends from your own WhatsApp session, so the computer must be on and WhatsApp connected at that time. Cancel or edit the message any time before it goes out.
The details
Reminders, too
A reminder on a message is for you: nothing is sent. Use it when the next step depends on whether they reply.
No server sends for you
The message goes out from your own session. Your chats are not handed to a server to send them.
From your AI assistant
With the Kaption MCP server, an assistant can schedule one message to one chat after you confirm the text and time.
Not for bulk sending
Scheduling is for one-to-one messages people expect. Bulk or unsolicited messages break the terms and can get a number banned by WhatsApp.
Plan and limits
Basic: five scheduled messages a week. Pro: unlimited. Scheduling is not part of the Free plan. See plans and prices
