How leads are lost right now
Three situations almost every company knows
Templates are rejected with no explanation
Meta sends a refusal with the reason written in vague terms. What exactly to fix is unclear, and the attempts go round in circles.
Broadcasts cost more than expected
The message was classed as marketing even though it reads as a notification. The budget runs out faster than planned.
Customers complain about the messages
The text looks like spam and people tap Block. The number's quality drops and the limits fall.
What a template looks like to the customer
Clear text with the order details and a button: that's how a message avoids being mistaken for spam.
How do you get a template through Meta's review?
Templates are submitted for review from your dashboard once the line is already running. The line itself launches in about 15 minutes.
WhatsApp line
You sign up and create a WhatsApp Business API line, which your templates will be linked to.
Number and form
You verify the number with a code and fill in your company details for Meta.
Text, variables, buttons
We write the template for a specific case: company name, reason for the message, variables inside the text, a reply button.
Category
We choose marketing, utility or authentication the way the reviewer will read it.
Meta review
We submit it for review and track the status. If it's rejected, we work out why and rewrite the text.
What you get
We help you write them
We suggest wording that passes moderation and doesn't come across as pushy.
The right category
We help you avoid classing a service message as marketing and overpaying for it.
Variables
Name, order number, amount and dates are filled in automatically.
Buttons in the message
A link to your website, a call or a quick reply, so the customer responds with one tap.
Rejections analysed
If a refusal arrives, we find the reason and rewrite the text rather than resubmitting the same thing.
Templates in your CRM
Approved templates are available to agents right in the chat and in the deal card.
Free-form text vs a template
A template is what you need when you write first: it's the only legitimate way
How much will a broadcast with your templates cost?
A template's category directly affects the price, so calculate marketing and utility messages separately.
Your country
Meta rates depend on the recipient country. Below are the final prices per message.
Promos, discounts, invitations: marketing messages
Order status, appointment reminders, payment reminders
Everything an agent writes to a customer while the 24-hour window is open. The first 1,000 per month per number are charged at a reduced price
