Overview

Periskope enables you to perform group-level bulk actions like adding, removing members, changing admins, adding labels and editing group settings.

You can only perform actions on groups where the connected WhatsApp number is an admin. Actions on any group where the org number is not an admin will fail

Please click on the Refresh icon on the top bar to sync latest admin status of all groups before performing any bulk actions

1
