What's WhatsApp Message Templates?

To drive high-quality conversations between people and businesses, the WhatsApp Business Platform has a 24-Hour Custom Service Window, after which businesses can initiate the conversation only through Message Templates.

The WhatsApp Business Platform works around two different categories of conversation:

  1. User-initiated - When the user or customer sends the message to the business. The business can respond to the message with a simple message or message template within 24 hours. Once the window has expired, the business can only respond with a message template which will be counted as a Business-initiated conversation.

  2. Business-initiated - When the business reaches out to the customer outside the 24-hour customer service window, its falls under the Business-initiated conversation. For a business-initiated conversation, a message template is required.

If the business tries to send a message other than a template message outside this 24-Hour window, it will be failed delivery.

A message template could be a text message regarding support, appointment reminders, payment or shipping updates, alerts, etc. A business can create its own message templates, which is supported at RUM Work as well; however, to send them, they should meet some requirements that are,

  • A message template must be approved by WhatsApp before sending. At RUM Work, once created the template, you can send it for approval with a single click.

  • A message template is for business-initiated conversation; therefore, a customer must have opted-in to receive messages from your business for that type of conversation.

If your Message Template meets these requirements, you can send them without any further action.
