Boosting posts allows you to increase the reach of your posts and attract more interactions.
By turning a post into an ad with a click to WhatsApp, you can direct communication to a specific audience by choosing characteristics such as location and interests. This way, you facilitate direct contact with customers and initiate conversations that can lead to sales.
⚠️ Attention: Currently, this functionality is only available for Instagram ads that direct clicks to WhatsApp, starting commercial interactions in the Customer Service Inbox of Zenvia Customer Cloud.
Requirements to Boost Posts
To boost a post, make sure you have:
A Meta ads account.
A Facebook page linked to the ads account.
