A pre-approved message template required for initiating business conversations outside the customer service window on WhatsApp.

Why WhatsApp Template Matters

WhatsApp restricts businesses from freely messaging customers to prevent spam. Meta requires any business-initiated message sent outside an active customer conversation to use a template it has reviewed and approved in advance, with the wording and variable placeholders locked to what was submitted.

How WhatsApp Template Works

A business submits template text, with numbered variable placeholders for anything that changes per recipient, through Meta Business Manager or its BSP. Meta reviews the template against its policies and approves or rejects it; only approved templates can be used for business-initiated sends.

How SMPPCenter Uses This

SMPPCenter's WhatsApp Business API integration lets you manage and send against your approved templates directly from the platform, matching each send to the correct template and its variables.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Any change to the approved wording requires submitting it as a new template for Meta's review. You cannot alter approved template text on the fly for individual sends, only the variable placeholders change per message.
