6 Mistakes That Make Your WhatsApp Campaign Reports Wrong

If your WhatsApp campaign numbers look too good, or don’t match your sales, check for these six reporting mistakes.

1. Counting sends as success
   sent only means Meta accepted the message. Use delivered as your base.

2. No campaign ID on orders
   If you can’t tell which message led to an order, you can’t measure revenue per campaign. Store the campaign ID per message, then attribute orders by phone number and time window.

3. Ignoring failed statuses
   Failures hide real problems: numbers not on WhatsApp, per-user marketing limits, paused templates. Group failures by error code after every campaign.

4. No opt-out tracking
   “STOP” replies and blocks are the early warning before your number’s quality rating drops. Track them per campaign.

5. Changing the attribution window
   7 days one month, 30 days the next, and the trend line becomes meaningless. Pick one and keep it.

6. Counting bot chats as sales
   A chatbot conversation isn’t a conversion. Only count orders, bookings or payments.
