Long-Term Preventive Measures
Report Spammers in WhatsApp: Use WhatsAppâs built-in reporting feature to report the phone numbers sending spam messages. This can help curb further messages from these senders.
Migrate the WhatsApp Channel: If spam persists and the current WhatsApp number has been widely exposed, consider migrating the channel to a new number. This can be done by raising a change request through your brand admin.

Educate staff and guests on the appropriate use of these communication channels to minimize misuse. By following these steps, you can effectively manage and prevent unsolicited WhatsApp messages, ensuring a smoother experience for both your team and your guests.
