You can send WhatsApp messages from different numbers configured in your Wazzap account using the **Switch Command**.

### Command Syntax

:::BlockQuote
\#switch|\<PriorityNumber>
:::

### Example

:::BlockQuote
\#switch|2
:::

### How it works

1. **#switch** → Defines that the command will change the sender number.
2. **PriorityNumber** → Indicates which WhatsApp number (by priority) will be used for sending the following messages.

- Numbers are assigned priorities in your Wazzap settings (e.g., 1 = Admin, 2 = Sales, etc.).
- Once executed, **all subsequent messages** will be sent from the selected number.
- To switch back, simply send another #switch|\<PriorityNumber> command.

⚠️ **Important:&#x20;**&#x59;ou must wait at least **0.3 minutes** after sending the command for it to take effect.
:::

### Result

- After #switch|2, all following messages (text, images, files, etc.) will be sent using **number 2**.
- If you switch back with #switch|1, all messages will continue from **number 1**.

:::hint{type="info"}
⚠️ **Important:&#x20;**&#x49;f the **client replies** to a specific number, the system automatically **locks future replies to that number** unless you manually switch again.
:::

### ⚠️ Important Notes

1. A minimum wait of **0.3 minutes** is required before the switch becomes active.
2. All subsequent messages will follow the last active switch command.
3. Particularly useful for sending a **chain of messages or attachments** from a specific number.
4. &#x20;This command must be sent from your CRM integration Conversations tab (e.g., HighLevel), **not from the WhatsApp mobile app**.
