KK-DATA WhatsApp Number Screening Tutorial: Complete Guide to Creating Tasks in Console and WA Screening
In B2B SaaS outbound customer acquisition, WhatsApp has become one of the most active instant messaging tools in markets like Europe, the US, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. Whether for community management, direct message promotion, or customer outreach, the prerequisite is ensuring the numbers you have are genuine, active WhatsApp users. KK-DATA WhatsApp Number Screening is a batch verification tool designed for this scenario – it quickly checks whether numbers are registered on WhatsApp within the console, and supports exporting WSID (WhatsApp User ID), helping teams focus resources on reachable active users.
This tutorial will walk you through the entire process from registration and login to exporting results, covering format preparation, task configuration, cost control, and result interpretation, so you can get started quickly and reuse the process efficiently later.
What is KK-DATA WhatsApp Number Screening?
The WA Screening feature provided by KK-DATA is primarily designed to detect whether a phone number is registered on WhatsApp (i.e., a “valid number”), and supports exporting the corresponding WSID (WhatsApp internal identifier, useful for more precise user identification or subsequent integration). Compared with other platforms, KK-DATA stands out for:
- Strictly pay-per-use, no subscription: You only pay for what you use, suitable for flexible needs from a few hundred to millions of numbers.
- Multi-platform integration: The same console manages screening tasks for Telegram, WhatsApp, iMessage, RCS, etc., with a deduplicated data warehouse reused across tasks.
- Supports global number generation: No need to bring your own numbers; you can directly generate random numbers for 240+ countries in the console, then import them for WA screening (generation is free).
For outbound teams, the value of WA screening is: avoiding sending invalid messages to unregistered users, reducing the risk of account suspension, and increasing marketing ROI.
Preparation: What Do You Need to Prepare?
Before creating your first WA screening task, ensure you have completed the following three things:
-
Register and log in to the console
Go to https://app.kkdata.cc/ and register using an email or Telegram account (recommended). Log in to access the main dashboard. -
Top up USDT balance
KK-DATA uses USDT (TRC20) top-up, with a minimum of approximately 50 USDT. After top-up, the balance is credited immediately, and each screening task will deduct fees per record upon completion. If you have no balance, task submission will fail.
→ See pricing rules on the official pricing page. -
Prepare the number file for screening
You need a CSV or TXT file containing target numbers, one per line, with the full country code, and no spaces, hyphens, or parentheses.
Format Requirements: How Should the Number File Be Prepared?
Correct format example (recommended international format):
8613800138000
19171234567
447700900001
- China number:
86+ mobile number (e.g., 8613800138000) - US number:
1+ area code + number (e.g., 19171234567) - UK number:
44+ mobile number (e.g., 447700900001)
Incorrect format examples (will cause screening failure):
13800138000 // Missing country code
+86-13800138000 // Contains + and hyphen
138 0013 8000 // Contains spaces
(917)123-4567 // Contains parentheses and separators
Important: Ensure Number Format is Correct
Numbers must include the full international country code (e.g., 86138xxxx) without spaces or special characters. Incorrect format will lead to screening failure and wasted time.
Number source suggestions:
- Export registered mobile numbers from CRM or overseas platforms
- Use KK-DATA’s Global Number Generation module to randomly generate numbers by country/number range (generation is free)
- Manually organize existing data sets
Balance and Billing: How to Check and Control Costs?
Before creating a task, it is recommended to check your account balance. Click your avatar in the upper right corner of the console → “Balance Management” to see your current USDT balance and CNY balance (converted to RMB). Before submitting a task, the system will display an estimated cost based on the number of records you upload and the selected detection type. If the estimated cost exceeds your balance, the task cannot be submitted and you need to top up first.
Pricing rules (subject to real-time prices in the console):
- No subscription plan
- Different detection types (e.g., validity check only vs. validity + WSID export) have different unit prices
- Fees are deducted after each task is completed; if balance is insufficient, the task will be paused
💡 Tip: First run a small batch (e.g., 100 records) to test, confirm the unit price and result format, then process in bulk.
Step by Step: How to Create a WhatsApp Screening Task in the Console?
Below is the complete operation path; it is recommended to follow each step.
Step 1: Log In and Create a New Task
- Log in to the Application Console
- In the left navigation bar, click “Screening Tasks”
- Click the “Create Task” button in the upper right corner
- In the pop-up dialog, select the detection platform: WhatsApp
Step 2: Upload Number File and Select Detection Type
- In the “Upload Number File” area, click to select a CSV or TXT file, or drag and drop the file to the designated area.
- Supports up to approximately 1 million records per upload (the system will prompt you to split if the file is too large).
- In the “Detection Type” dropdown, you can choose:
- Validity Check Only: Quickly determines if the number is registered on WhatsApp, returning “Valid / Invalid / Unknown”.
- Validity + WSID Export: While checking validity, exports the WSID for each valid number. WSID can be used for subsequent user profiling or message push (required in some scenarios).
- Other types (e.g., empty number or operator check) depend on features available in the console.
- After selection, the system will display the estimated cost and expected time. It is recommended to preview before confirming.
Step 3: Submit Task and Check Real-Time Status
- Confirm the estimated cost is correct, then click “Submit Task”
- The task status will display in sequence:
- Queued: Waiting for resource allocation
- Processing: Screening in progress (refresh page or wait for notification)
- Completed: Results available for viewing
- Notification methods:
- The console task list updates progress in real time
- If you have bound Telegram in your “Personal Settings”, you will receive notifications from the KK-DATA official bot after task completion
How to Interpret WA Screening Results and Export?
After a task is completed, click on the task card to enter the details page, where you will see the detection result for each number.
Description of result columns (using “Validity Check” as an example):
| Result | Meaning | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|
| Valid | The number is registered on WhatsApp | Can be added to marketing list or community |
| Invalid | The number is not registered on WhatsApp | Remove to avoid wasting send quota |
| Unknown | Network anomaly or timeout prevents judgment | Can re-screening or manual verification |
If you selected “Validity + WSID Export”, an additional WSID column will be displayed (some countries may not support export).
Exporting results:
Click the “Export” button, select the format (CSV / TXT), and check “Export only valid numbers” (recommended) to download the cleaned data. You can then use these numbers for WhatsApp broadcasts, group invitations, or direct message promotion.
Tip: Explanation of Result Columns
Valid = the number can send/receive WhatsApp messages; Invalid = not registered on WA; Unknown = due to network issues etc., retry needed. When exporting, it is recommended to check “Export only valid numbers” to clean the data.
Common Mistakes: Points to Note When Creating WA Screening Tasks
Based on user feedback, the following mistakes are most common and should be avoided:
| Mistake | Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Numbers without country code (e.g., 13800138000) | Add prefix like 86 (China), 1 (US) |
| File encoding is GBK causing garbled Chinese characters | Save as UTF-8 (without BOM) encoding |
| Uploading more than 1 million records at once | Split into multiple files of less than 1 million each and submit in batches |
| Submitting a task with insufficient balance | Top up first; insufficient balance after submission pauses the task |
| Treating generated numbers as screening results | Generated numbers are random; you need screening to confirm validity |
Main Differences Between WhatsApp Screening and Telegram Screening
KK-DATA supports both WA and TG screening, but their functions differ. Choose the one that suits your needs for better efficiency:
| Dimension | WhatsApp Screening | Telegram Screening |
|---|---|---|
| Detection types | Validity check, WSID export | Registration check, validity, activity (7/15/30 days), gender identification, TGID export |
| Applicable regions | Europe, Americas, Latin America, Southeast Asia | CIS, Middle East, Southeast Asia, crypto communities |
| Typical use cases | Customer outreach, DM marketing | Community growth, airdrop campaigns, precise follower acquisition |
| Unit price | See console | Varies by detection type |
If you are mainly doing overseas B2B sales, WA screening is more suitable; if you are into crypto or community management, TG screening offers richer features.
Best Practices for Using the KK-DATA Console
Based on extensive user experience, the following 5 tips can significantly improve efficiency and control costs:
- Leverage the data deduplication warehouse: Numbers between different tasks may overlap. First import all target numbers into the “Data Deduplication Warehouse” to deduplicate, then submit the screening task to avoid double-checking and wasting balance.
- Batch task scheduling: If you have more than one million numbers, split them into multiple tasks and submit one by one. It is recommended to keep each batch under 500,000 records for faster results.
- Bucket management after export: Group the valid numbers by country, activity level, etc., and use them in different marketing activities.
- Use Telegram to receive notifications: Bind your Telegram account to receive instant alerts when tasks complete, so you don’t need to refresh the page constantly.
- Anonymous USDT top-up: Choose USDT (TRC20) top-up for no identification records, suitable for teams that value privacy.
