Schedule a sales live on your networks with Restream from WhatsApp and see how many watched
Ask on WhatsApp for a sales live: an AI agent schedules it in Restream with your networks as destinations and later tells you how many watched.
How do I schedule a sales live on several networks at once without opening each one?
You write to your Met "schedule a live on Thursday at 7 in the evening to show the new collection, on my usual channels". The Met checks your connected channels in Restream and whether any has access problems, creates the scheduled event with its title and description, connects each channel as a destination and, on the platforms that allow it, creates the scheduled broadcast there so your followers see it announced. It confirms what is ready and which channel needs one more detail. After the live you ask how it went and it pulls the viewers per channel. You run the stream yourself from the Restream studio or your streaming software.
What starts it
When someone asks for it
It starts when someone on the team asks the Met on WhatsApp to schedule a live, or asks how one went. The Met does not stream or schedule anything on its own.
A manual task: someone on the team runs it with a button, or asks the Met for it in chat.
Who runs it
Internal Met that schedules your live streams
Social team
This is not a named, seeded Met. It is an internal Met with Restream connected, for the owner or the agency that runs sales lives: it is done when the event is scheduled with its destinations, or when it gives you the live's viewers.

The procedure, step by step
Each step shows the tool that runs. They belong to the real connector: if one of them stopped existing, this page would not build.
- 1
Check your connected channels
The Met lists the channels connected to your Restream account, with their platform and name, to know on which networks it can announce the live.
- 2
Check for access problems
Before scheduling, the Met checks whether any channel has access problems with its platform. If one fails, it tells you so you reconnect it in Restream.
- 3
Create the scheduled event
The Met creates the event with the title, description and start time you gave. If you gave no title, it asks, because some platforms require one to connect the channel.
- 4
Connect each network as a destination
The Met connects each channel as a destination of the event, with the settings each platform asks for. If a channel needs one more detail, it asks you and retries.
- 5
Announce the live on each platform
On the platforms that allow it, the Met creates the event's scheduled broadcast, so your followers see it announced before you start. This action publishes the announcement on your networks.
- 6
Report how many watched
After the live, the Met pulls the event's viewer analytics with totals per channel and tells you which network brought the most audience.
Before you start
What you need ready
The Met solves none of these for you. If one is missing, the automation stops there.
-
Your networks connected in Restream
Your Restream account with the networks where you sell live already connected as channels. Free accounts can connect channels and create events; some destinations depend on the plan.
-
Restream connected in Met
In Met, open Connections → Restream → Connect and authorize with the business account, in the right Restream workspace.
-
An internal Met on WhatsApp
A team Met with Restream connected that you write to on WhatsApp. It is not the Met that answers your customers: it is for whoever organizes the lives.
The limits
What this automation does NOT solve
Better said here than discovered halfway through the rollout.
-
It does not stream for you. The Met leaves the event scheduled; you run the live from the Restream studio or your streaming software.
-
It does not handle stream keys or passwords. Restream does not let them be entered or return them through its MCP; that is done on app.restream.io.
-
It does not ask for confirmation in the chat before creating the event or announcing it on your networks: those actions start switched on. The admin decides in Connections which ones stay that way.
-
It does not connect new networks to Restream. If you want to stream on a network that is not connected, connect it in Restream first.
-
It does not answer comments during the live. It can count how many chat messages there were, but replying to commenters is your job during the stream.
FAQ
Questions about this automation
Yes. The connector has a tool to reschedule the event. Clearing its time entirely starts switched off.
Disconnecting a destination only removes it inside Restream. It does not delete or change anything on the platform itself.
Yes. Restream can create an event from a recording or a stored video. This procedure schedules a new live, but the steps are similar.
You do, with your Restream plan. Meteor does not resell Restream: the connector uses your business's account.
