  1. TEMPLATE

Template Categories

WhatsApp template categories are predefined message types that help structure communication for specific use cases.

PreviousBizMagnets Template MessagesNextCreate and Edit Template

Last updated 6 months ago

Each category ensures compliance with WhatsApp's guidelines for specific business interactions.

A template message can have three different categories:

  • Marketing

  • Utility

  • Authentication

Marketing Templates

Marketing template includes advertisements for sales or discounts, announcements of new product launches, invitations to events, or general updates aimed at fostering customer engagement and driving sales or event participation. To ensure a positive user experience and adherence to platform guidelines, these templates need to be pre-approved by Meta. They provide businesses with a structured way to communicate marketing messages while respecting the standards set by WhatsApp for content and user consent.

Here are some common use cases for marketing templates:

Per-User Marketing Template Message Limits

There is a certain limit for a business to send marketing template messages to a customer within a given period, starting with a small number of conversations that are less likely to be read. This limit is set based on the total number of marketing template messages a person has received from any and all businesses, not just messages from your specific business.

Utility Templates

A utility templates are designed for sending practical and informative messages to users based on their actions or requests. This can include transactional information like order confirmations, shipping updates, appointment reminders, or account notifications. These templates are meant to provide users with relevant details about an active or ongoing transaction, account status, subscription updates, or any direct interaction they have initiated.

Here are some rephrased examples of utility template messages:

Continuing a Conversation

👋 Hello [Name], it's great to reconnect! How can we assist you today? Feel free to respond with any questions or requests.

Any template containing both utility and marketing content will be considered a marketing template. In simple terms, any conversation that isn't about utility or authentication is considered a marketing conversation.

Authentication Template

An Authentication Template in WhatsApp is a pre-approved message format specifically used for sending authentication-related information, such as One-Time Passwords (OTPs) or account verification codes. These templates must be approved by WhatsApp before use to ensure they comply with their guidelines for transactional and security-related messages. This ensures secure and compliant delivery of sensitive information via WhatsApp.

Here are some rephrased examples of authentication template messages:

Use-Case
Example Message Template

Login or Account Authentication

Your login OTP code is {{1}}. Please enter this code to access your account. This code will expire in 5 minutes.

New Device Login Verification

We detected a login attempt from a new device. Please enter the following verification code: {{1}}. This code is valid for 10 minutes.

Transaction Authorization

To confirm your transaction of {{2}}, please enter the verification code {{1}}. This code will expire in 5 minutes.

Password Reset

To reset your password, please enter the following OTP: {{1}}. This OTP is valid for 10 minutes.

This limit is only relevant to marketing template messages that would typically initiate a new marketing conversation. If there is already an ongoing marketing conversation between you and a WhatsApp user, the limit won't impact any marketing template messages you send within that conversation. .
