Offline Scheduling

Offline Scheduling

One of BlueTicks' most powerful features is the ability to send scheduled messages even when your computer is turned off or your browser is closed.

How It Works

BlueTicks offers a premium feature called "Send Messages Offline" that allows your scheduled messages to be delivered even when:

  • Your computer is shut down
  • Your browser is closed
  • WhatsApp Web is not active

This is accomplished through BlueTicks' secure Offline Server technology which maintains the connection to WhatsApp after you've authorized it.

Setting Up Offline Scheduling

Step 1: Check Your Connection Status

First, check your current connection status by looking at the WhatsApp Devices panel:

BlueTicks Connection Status

If you see "Keep WhatsApp Web open in your browser for messages to be sent," this indicates you're using the standard connection mode that requires your browser to remain open.

Step 2: Connect to the Offline Server

To enable offline scheduling:

  1. Look for the "Send Messages Offline" section
  2. Click the "Connect Offline Server" button
  3. A modal will appear to guide you through the connection process

Step 3: Scan the QR Code

Once the QR code appears:

  1. Open WhatsApp on your mobile phone
  2. Go to Settings > Linked Devices
  3. Tap "Link a Device"
  4. Scan the QR code displayed in your browser
  5. Wait for the connection to be established

Step 4: Confirmation

After successful connection, you'll see the status change to "Messages sent even when browser is closed" with a green checkmark. This confirms that your scheduled messages will now be delivered regardless of your browser or computer status.

Benefits of Offline Scheduling

  • Freedom from keeping computer on: Schedule messages without worrying about leaving your computer running
  • More reliable delivery: Messages will be sent even if your internet connection drops or computer crashes
  • Battery savings: No need to keep your laptop running just to send scheduled messages
  • Peace of mind: Set it and forget it - your messages will be delivered on time

Important Notes

  • Offline scheduling is a premium feature that may require a subscription
  • The connection to the Offline Server is secure and encrypted
  • Your message content is only processed at the time of scheduled delivery
  • The connection may need to be renewed periodically for security purposes
  • To disconnect from the Offline Server, visit the connection settings and click "Disconnect"

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues connecting to the Offline Server:

  • Ensure your mobile WhatsApp is up to date
  • Check your internet connection on both devices
  • Try refreshing the QR code if it expires
  • Make sure you're following the correct scanning procedure on your phone
