WhatsApp Templates: The Approval Process Demystified
June 14, 2026
What is a template message?
WhatsApp template messages are pre-approved messages you can send to users outside the 24-hour customer service window.
Anatomy of an approvable template
- Crystal-clear category (marketing, utility, authentication).
- No promotional language inside utility templates.
- Variables that resolve to non-empty, meaningful values.
- Optional header image must be relevant to the message.
