Questions
What is a WhatsApp message template?
A message format approved by Meta that businesses must use to start a WhatsApp conversation (for example a broadcast, reminder or order update). Once a customer replies, you can chat freely for 24 hours.
How long does Meta take to approve a template?
Usually a few minutes, sometimes up to 24 hours. Templates with clear wording, realistic examples and an opt-out button are approved fastest.
Why is this a utility template?
It confirms or updates something the customer asked for (like an order, booking or payment), with no promotional content. Utility messages cost less than marketing ones and are free inside an open 24-hour conversation.
Who can I send WhatsApp marketing messages to?
Only people who agreed to receive WhatsApp messages from your business. Email consent does not count. Every marketing message should let people opt out, for example with a “Stop promotions” button.
What do {{1}} and {{2}} mean?
They are placeholders filled in for each person, such as their first name or an order number. When you send with ENB Technologies, you choose what goes in each one.
Highlighted parts are filled in for each person.
