# WhatsApp Distribution

## 🗯️ What is WhatsApp distribution ?

Using WhatsApp distribution you can reach your audience by sending your surveys to your respondent WhatsApp application using their mobile phone number. 

WhatsApp surveys can be distributes in following ways.

* [**Invitation**](/form-management/campaigns/campaign/phone-sms-distribution/whatsapp-distribution/untitled.md) respondent will receive an [invitation message](/form-management/campaigns/campaign/invitation-message.md) with a link leading to your survey on the web.
* [**Two way**](/form-management/campaigns/campaign/phone-sms-distribution/whatsapp-distribution/two-way-survey.md) to create conversational surveys and let respondent reply to your survey questions directly within WhatsApp.

Its important to remember that due to the way WhatsApp works you can only use a [WhatsApp / Twilio pre-approved message](/form-management/campaigns/campaign/invitation-message/whatsapp-template.md) for your distribution messages.
