The product
Automate: a WhatsApp campaign manager for consent-first sending to lists you already own.
About Automate
We built Automate for our own campaigns first.
Automate is a WhatsApp campaign manager from Jeedesigns LLC. It started as an internal tool for our own messaging, and we opened it to other businesses once it was doing the job properly. Every customer gets a separate setup on a server that belongs to them, at a price that does not change with how much they send.
Automate at a glance
The company
Jeedesigns LLC, a small software company that builds, runs and supports Automate in-house.
The infrastructure
A dedicated VPS and private IP for every account. Nothing shared, ever.
The price
One flat yearly fee for the software. No per-message billing, no contact charges.
Why we built it
Four moments that turned into a product
No funding round, no grand plan. Just a tool we needed that did not exist at a price that made sense.
-
We tried the tools that already existed
We needed to send campaign messages to our own customers. So we did what everybody does and tried the tools that were already out there.
-
The pricing punished growth
Almost every tool charged per message, which meant every customer we added made the next campaign more expensive. That is a strange thing to pay for - the work of sending a message is not what costs money.
-
Shared servers meant shared blame
Those tools put hundreds of senders on one shared server. If somebody else on the server started blasting garbage, delivery quality dropped for everyone on it, including us. Our sending reputation depended on strangers we could not see and had no control over.
-
So we built the tool we actually wanted
One server per account, one flat price, and a personalization engine so that no two recipients got the identical block of text. We used it for our own campaigns for a while. It worked, so we started offering it to other people.
What it is
What Automate actually does
This is not a SaaS product. You are not buying a seat on a shared platform. We build a separate setup for you, on your own server, and that setup belongs to you. We manage the server so you do not have to.
What it does: sends WhatsApp campaigns to a list of contacts you already have, and shows you the delivery status of every message as it goes.
That is the whole product. It is deliberately not a CRM, not a chatbot, and not an inbox. It does campaign sending, and it tries to do that part well. If you want the full feature detail, the features section covers each one.
Sends your campaigns
Write one message with variations in it. Automate assembles a slightly different version for each person on the list you import.
Personalizes every copy
Spintax variations mean no two recipients get the identical block of text - it reads like a message, not a billboard.
Paces every send
Sending is paced instead of firing at once, and pauses overnight so nobody gets a message at 3 AM.
Stops and resumes cleanly
Pause a campaign halfway, switch to another connected number, and pick up from the exact contact you stopped at.
Why isolation matters
Why every account gets its own server
This is the part that costs us the most to run and the part we would change last.
- Your own virtual private server and private IP address - nobody else sends from it.
- Your contact list and your logs stay on your server, not in a shared database.
- Your sending reputation is the result of your own behaviour and nothing else.
The server is yours. We set it up on your behalf as part of getting you started, but the data on it belongs to you, and we are charging you for the software, not for access to your own information. The architecture section shows how the isolation is arranged.
Who it is for
Automate suits some people and not others
It is worth being direct about this, because a tool that claims to suit everybody usually suits nobody in particular.
Shops and local businesses
You have a customer list and something worth telling them - a seasonal offer, a new arrival, a booking reminder. You want it to read like a message, not a billboard.
Agencies running client campaigns
You send for several clients and need each one on separate infrastructure, with logs you can show them afterwards.
Anyone tired of per-message billing
You already know what you want to send. You just do not want the bill to grow every time your list does.
Where we draw the line
Four things Automate will never do
Plenty of tools in this category promise the opposite of each of these. Here is what we will not build and will not sell.
We will not sell you a list
Automate has no contact database and never will. You bring people who agreed to hear from you. Buying or scraping a list breaks our Acceptable Use Policy, and it is the fastest way to lose a number.
We will not bypass rate limits
Some tools advertise sending "without limits". That means working around the platform, and the account it burns is yours, not theirs. Automate paces sends inside safe ceilings by design.
We will not promise you cannot be banned
No software can guarantee that, and any vendor who says otherwise is selling you a ban. What Automate does is remove the sending patterns that cause most bans in the first place.
We will not charge per message
Per-message pricing punishes you for growing. Automate charges one flat yearly fee for the software. Reaching more customers costs you nothing extra.
The business model
How Automate makes money
One way: you pay a flat yearly fee for the software. The smallest plan is $15 a month billed yearly, and the largest is $30. That is the complete list of ways this business earns anything from you.
There is no per-message fee and no charge for extra contacts. Every plan gets the same isolation - the plans differ by how many messages you can send and how many numbers you can connect.
Your data is not part of the business model. Your contact list is not sold, rented, shared, or used to train anything. It sits on your server. The privacy policy spells out exactly who can touch what, including the payment processor and the form provider, which are the only outside services involved at all.
The company
Who you are actually dealing with
Automate is built and run by Jeedesigns LLC, a software company founded by Jithu Jayaraj. We write the product, we run the servers it deploys on, and we are the people who answer the email when you send one.
There are real advantages to a company this size. You are never handed between support tiers, the person replying understands the code, and a bug report goes straight to whoever can fix it. Setup is done by hand for each customer, which is why credentials take up to 2 days rather than arriving instantly.
There is an honest limit too: we are not a 24-hour support desk. We answer email the same day. If you need a contractual response-time guarantee with penalties attached, we would rather tell you that now than after you have paid.
