How WhatsApp template messages work with MonoChat

Three steps from a draft to an approved template you can reuse.

  1. Create the template

    Write the message with variables, media and buttons, then choose its category and language.

  2. Submit it for approval

    Send the template to Meta for review from MonoChat. Once it is approved, it is ready to reuse.

  3. Send and automate

    Send it manually, in a broadcast or from an event such as an order, booking or payment, then automate the reply path.

Common template message use cases

Reusable templates when simple. Event-driven journeys when needed.

Send a standard approved template or trigger personalized messages automatically when orders, bookings, payments, renewals or customer lifecycle events happen.

FAQ

WhatsApp template messages FAQ

When you need a template, how approval works and why templates get rejected.

What is a WhatsApp template message?

A template message is a pre-approved message format that businesses use to start a WhatsApp conversation or to reach a customer after the 24-hour service window has closed. Templates can include variables, media and buttons.

When do I need to use a template?

Whenever you write to a customer first, or more than 24 hours after their last message. Inside that 24-hour window you can reply with free-form messages, so templates are mostly used for notifications, reminders, follow-ups and campaigns.

How long does WhatsApp template approval take?

Meta reviews every template. Many reviews finish within minutes, but some take longer, so submit templates before you need them. Clear wording, the right category and sample values for each variable help a template pass the first time.

Which template categories are there?

WhatsApp has three template categories: marketing for offers and promotions, utility for updates about an existing order, booking or account, and authentication for one-time passcodes. Meta decides the category from the content of the template.

Why was my WhatsApp template rejected?

The most common reasons are a category that does not match the content, variables without clear context or sample values, formatting mistakes, and content that breaks WhatsApp’s business or commerce policies. You can edit the template and submit it again.
