KK-DATA WA Active Detection Tutorial: How to Batch Screen WhatsApp Active Numbers Using the Console

WhatsApp is one of the most popular instant messaging tools globally, especially in markets like Southeast Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. It serves as a core channel for businesses expanding overseas to reach users. However, if you send marketing messages directly to all numbers after obtaining a large batch, you not only waste costs (inactive users won’t check them) but also risk account suspension due to high rejection rates. WA Active Detection is designed to solve this problem — it not only verifies whether a number is valid (can receive messages) but also determines whether the number has been actively used in the past period. By filtering out active numbers, you can focus your energy and budget on truly valuable users.

KK-DATA Console provides a complete WA Active Detection feature, supporting batch uploads of numbers, setting activity windows (e.g., 7 days / 15 days / 30 days), and exporting results (including WSID). This article will guide you step by step on how to operate, while sharing best practices to improve efficiency.

What is WA Active Detection? Why Filter WhatsApp Active Numbers?

WA Active Detection refers to, on the basis of confirming that a number is valid (i.e., registered on WhatsApp), further detecting whether the number has had any activity within a specified time period (e.g., sending messages, reading messages, being online). In contrast, WA Validity Detection only checks whether the number is registered on WhatsApp, without considering usage frequency.

For overseas marketing, the value of active numbers is much higher than that of inactive numbers:

• Higher delivery rate: Messages sent to active users have higher open and reply rates.
• Lower risk of account suspension: WhatsApp monitors sending behavior. If a large number of messages are sent to invalid or long-term inactive numbers, it easily triggers risk control (reducing reputation score or even suspending the account).
• Cost saving: Under the pay-per-message model, each detection costs money. Screening active numbers first makes subsequent marketing more efficient.

KK-DATA’s WA Active Detection is integrated into the “Number Screening” module. You only need to upload a number list and check “Activity”, and the system will automatically complete the detection and return statistical results.

What Preparations Are Needed Before WA Active Detection in KK-DATA Console?

Before submitting a task, please ensure the following preparations to avoid interruptions.

Check Account and Balance

1. Register and log in: Visit KK-DATA Console, register with email or Telegram.
2. Top up balance: The platform uses no subscription plan, pay per detection. Top-up is via USDT (TRC20), minimum about 50 USDT. New tasks cannot be submitted if balance is insufficient. After top-up, you can view the real-time balance in the console under “Financial Management”.
3. Bind Telegram: Recommended. You will be automatically notified when tasks are completed.

Prepare Number File Format

• File format supports CSV or TXT, one number per line.
• Must include the international dialing code. For example, Mainland China numbers: +8613800138000.
• Avoid duplicate numbers: You can use KK-DATA’s Data Deduplication Warehouse to clean historical numbers first to prevent wasting balance on duplicate detections.
• Maximum per task is about 1 million (subject to system load); large files can be processed in batches.

How to Submit a WA Active Detection Task in KK-DATA Console Step by Step?

The following operations are based on the current version of the console (May 2025). If the interface has minor adjustments, please refer to the actual interface.

Step 1: Enter the “Number Screening” Module

In the left navigation bar, click Number Screening, then click the New Task button.

Step 2: Select Detection Platform as WhatsApp

In the task configuration interface, select WhatsApp from the platform drop-down menu. Then check the detection types:

• Validity Detection (required, to confirm whether the number is registered on WhatsApp)
• Activity Detection (required, to determine active status)

Note: You don’t need to check both “Validity” and “Activity”? Actually, activity detection already includes validity determination. The system first checks if the number is valid, then detects active status. However, to be safe, it is recommended to select both (the system will automatically merge fees).

Step 3: Upload or Paste Numbers

You can upload a local file (CSV/TXT) or directly paste the number list into the text box. Supports uploading up to 1 million numbers at once.

Step 4: Set Detection Parameters (Activity Window)

This is the core parameter of WA Active Detection. KK-DATA provides preset activity windows:

• Active within 7 days: Numbers that have had activity in the last 7 days. Suitable for instant marketing, group invites, direct messages (high reach requirement).
• Active within 15 days: Suitable for regular marketing, balancing reach probability and crowd size.
• Active within 30 days: Suitable for brand exposure, long-cycle conversion activities. Larger crowd base but slightly lower activity.
• Custom window: You can manually enter the number of days (e.g., 45 days). The system will detect activity status within that period.

Choose the right window according to your marketing scenario: e.g., promotional campaigns choose 7 days, brand reminders choose 30 days.

Step 5: Submit Task and Check Estimated Fee

After configuration, click the Submit button. The system will first display the estimated deduction amount (based on selected detection types and number of numbers). Confirm and click confirm. The task enters the queue.

You will not be charged during task execution; actual fees are deducted from the balance only after the task is completed. If insufficient balance, the task will fail and prompt you to top up.

How to View WA Active Detection Results and Export?

After the task is completed, you will see the status changed to “Completed” in the task list. Click the task name to enter the details page.

View Statistical Overview

The result page shows:

• Total numbers
• Valid numbers (registered on WhatsApp)
• Active numbers (meeting activity conditions)
• Inactive numbers (valid but not meeting activity conditions)
• Invalid numbers (not registered on WhatsApp)

Export Results

Click the Export button, select export format (CSV, TXT). The exported content includes the following fields (subject to actual output):

• Number
• Country/Region
• WA Validity Status (Valid/Invalid)
• WA Activity Status (Active/Inactive)
• Last Active Time (if any)
• WSID (WhatsApp user unique identifier)

You can import active numbers into messaging tools or CRM for subsequent outreach. If you need multi-platform combined screening (e.g., first screen WhatsApp active, then Telegram active), you can repeat the task or use the strategy orchestration feature (planned for future console updates).

What Are the Billing Rules for WA Active Detection?

KK-DATA does not charge monthly fees or plans. All are pay per detection. Different detection types may have different unit prices (see the console real-time prices or official billing page).

Billing rules:

• Estimated fee is shown when submitting task; actual deduction occurs after completion (prices may fluctuate based on platform load).
• The two detection types (validity + activity) are billed separately, but combined detection is usually more cost-effective than doing them separately.
• Insufficient balance prevents submission of new tasks; top-up is required first.

For example: Detecting 10,000 numbers, assuming unit price for validity detection is A per number, and for activity detection is B per number, total fee ≈ (10,000 × A + number of active successes × B), subject to the actual displayed amount.

How to Improve Accuracy and Efficiency of WA Active Detection?

The following best practices can help you optimize costs and result quality.

1. Use the Global Number Generation Module: If you need numbers from specific countries, you can first generate random numbers (free) in the console’s “Global Number Generation” and then import them for screening. This is more controllable than buying from public databases.
2. Choose the Activity Window Wisely: For short-term marketing (e.g., promotional campaigns), choose a 7-day window; for long-term brand building, choose 30 days or custom. Avoid excessively long windows that may inflate activity rates artificially.
3. Submit Large Files in Batches: Maximum per task is 1 million. However, to better track task status, it is recommended to split files over 5 million into 5 batches, exporting after each batch completes.
4. Regularly Clean the Deduplication Warehouse: After each screening, import the result numbers into the deduplication warehouse. When starting a new task, the system will automatically skip existing records, avoiding duplicate charges.
5. Keep Sufficient Balance: Even if balance reaches 0 after top-up, submitted tasks are not affected, but new tasks cannot be submitted. It is recommended to prepay a sufficient amount (e.g., 100 USDT) to avoid interruptions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between WA Active Detection and WA Validity Detection?

A: Validity detection only checks if the number is registered on WhatsApp; activity detection, on the basis of validity, further checks whether the number has used WhatsApp within a specified time window. Activity detection includes validity detection, but the fee is usually higher.

Q: Can the activity window be customized? For example, more than 30 days?

A: Yes. KK-DATA supports custom days. You can enter any number like 45, 60, etc. in the task parameters. The system will check if the number has activity records during that period.

Q: After detection, how do I know which numbers are active?

A: In the exported result file, there is a column “WA Activity Status” marked as “Active” or “Inactive”. You can also directly view the statistics list on the console details page and filter to keep only active numbers.

Q: I uploaded 1 million numbers. How long will it take to get results?

A: Processing time depends on server load and number quality, usually between a few minutes to tens of minutes. You will be notified via Telegram (if you bound your account) after the task completes. It is recommended to avoid peak hours (e.g., domestic evening 8-10 PM).

Q: Does it support detecting both Telegram and WhatsApp activity simultaneously?

A: Currently, it is not supported to detect two platforms in one task. You need to submit separate tasks for Telegram and WhatsApp. However, you can import the numbers after the first round of screening (e.g., WhatsApp valid numbers) into a Telegram screening task to achieve combined screening.
