How to congratulate many people, each by name
Sometimes you need to congratulate a whole list: a school wishing every student who passed, a company wishing all employees promoted this year, or an association congratulating its members' children on their results. Rapid Sender, a free browser tool for WhatsApp, sends one message per person from your own WhatsApp, with their name and any other details filled in.
- 1
Prepare your sheet
Make an Excel or CSV file with name and phone columns. Add any extra columns you want to use, such as marks or rank. Up to 5,000 rows per upload.
- 2
Link your WhatsApp
Open rapid-sender.com. On your phone, go to WhatsApp, Linked devices, Link a device and scan the QR code, or use the pairing code.
- 3
Paste the message
Paste a congratulations message from this page. Column names become placeholders, so {{name}} and {{marks}} are filled in for each person. Check the live preview.
- 4
Add a card (optional)
Attach a congratulations card or certificate as a photo or PDF. Rapid Sender can print each person's name on it, or make one with the free greeting card maker.
- 5
Test, then send
Send a test to yourself, then send to everyone. A random pause of 7 to 10 seconds between messages keeps it natural, and the live report shows who received it.
Tips for a congratulations message that feels personal
Name the achievement: 'congratulations on your promotion to Team Lead' beats a plain 'congrats'.
Add one real detail: the late nights, the interviews, the years of effort.
Send it soon. A congratulations message is best on the same day or the next.
Keep business out of personal wishes. No offers or links in a congratulations message.
For formal contacts, sign off with your name and company.
If you send to a list, message only people who know you, and send a test to yourself first.
