BumbiRelease notes, 30 September 2026: WhatsApp Group Automation
Message your WhatsApp groups, plan timed Sequences and keep every group under control, all from your Bumbi dashboard.
You can now run your WhatsApp groups from Bumbi. Bring in the groups your connected number is already in, send messages to one group or many, and plan timed Sequences that run on their own while Bumbi keeps your number safe.
New features
- Find your existing groups in one click. Press Refresh from WhatsApp on the Groups page to see every group your connected number is in, then add the ones you want to manage. Adding a group never sends anything to it.
- Send a message, image or link to one group or many, straight away or at a time you choose. Links become Bumbi short links, so you can see who clicked.
- Plan timed Sequences: a series of messages and group actions, such as opening posting, sending a welcome and closing posting again, that run on their own at the times you set.
- See each group's status at a glance: whether your number is an admin and whether posting is open or closed, as WhatsApp reports it.
- Pause, resume or cancel a Sequence at any time. Pausing stops it straight away, and cancelling means its remaining steps never send.
- Completed Sequences are clearly marked Completed, or Completed with issues if a group or step didn't finish, so you always know where things stand.
- Available on Starter (1 group funnel), Growth (3) and Elite (unlimited).
Improvements
- Group messages use your existing WhatsApp credits. You're charged one credit only when WhatsApp accepts a message, and never twice for the same message. Opening or closing posting and changing a group's description are free.
- Bumbi keeps messages to the same group at least two minutes apart and slows down after a quick run of messages, to protect your number. The Sequence editor shows the earliest time each step can go out.
- If a step needs admin rights your number doesn't have yet, it waits safely instead of failing silently. Make your number an admin in WhatsApp, then click Try this group again.
Bug fixes
- Your connected WhatsApp number now stays connected while we release updates to Bumbi.
Known issues
- Links in group messages don't show a preview card yet. The link itself is sent and works normally.
