WASBOT WhatsApp Commands — Complete Quick Reference

Status Commands

Post a Text Status

status <your message>

Posts a styled text status to your contacts. Font and color are determined by your active preset (or random if no preset is set).

Examples:

status Good morning! New deals dropping today
status Check out our latest collection: https://yourstore.com

Text statuses support up to 4,096 characters. URLs automatically generate link previews.

Post a Media Status

Send an image, video, or voice note to your WASBOT session, then:

status <optional caption>

Or simply send media with "status" as the caption. The media is posted as a status update to your contacts.

Set Status Preset (Font & Color)

status preset <font>,<color>

Locks in a specific font (1-9) and background color (1-15) for all future text statuses.

Examples:

status preset 6,14    (Calistoga font, Navy background)
status preset 4,13    (Bold font, Black background)
status preset 9,15    (Random font, Random color)

Send status preset with no arguments to see all available fonts and colors.

Tag All Members in Groups

Tips

  • Commands are case-insensitiveSTATUS, Status, and status all work
  • Indices cache for 5 minutes — re-sync groups if you get stale results
  • Media commands use captions or replies — send media with the command as the caption, or reply to existing media with the command
  • One operation at a time — group sends are serialized to protect your account from bans
