Businesses reach out to several people daily. While using WhatsApp as a channel to reach out, sending messages to an unsaved number becomes tricky. 

Many businesses use a WhatsApp Chrome extension to expedite outreaches and allow users to send messages to unsaved contacts. It helps teams network faster and easily connect with people.

You can use Cooby’s Start a chat feature to send a WhatsApp message to an unsaved contact. Message templates further expedite the outreach by allowing users to send pre-written text messages to unsaved numbers.
