Getting started in WhatsApp
After you link WhatsApp in the dashboard and send your first message to Gunvald, this quick guide is also sent automatically in the conversation.
First send the link code from the dashboard to this conversation. After linking succeeds, I will send the WhatsApp quick guide.
You can write in normal English. You do not need exact commands.
If you have multiple organizations, Gunvald asks you to choose one by number or name before organization-specific work.
Write /help to get these instructions again.
Change the WhatsApp guidance language with: language finnish, language english, or language swedish.

Carousels in WhatsApp
You can request a Facebook or Instagram carousel with 2–10 slides in the same conversation. Creating a carousel needs no separate Approve confirmation and does not publish it to social media.
- Send your own images and ask, for example: Make a five-image carousel about the benefits of ground-source heating for Facebook using these images.
- Without your own images, ask: New: Create a two-image carousel for Instagram and generate the background images.
- Wait for completion and ask for carousel status if needed. A started job does not yet mean the slide images are ready.
- Open the Library link in the reply and choose Edit → Carousel. Finish the text, crop and logo in the browser; Save updates the images on the same post. Publishing or scheduling is a separate action.
