FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Are these WhatsApp templates Meta-approved?
These bodies follow the patterns Meta approves on first or second submission for Indian businesses in 2026. Each is categorised correctly (Marketing, Utility, or Authentication), uses variables only inside body text not at start or end, includes expiry on authentication templates, and avoids the 23 common rejection triggers. You still need to submit each through your BSP for individual review against your brand context.
Can I copy these templates and use them as-is?
Yes. Replace the variable values with your brand specifics, submit through Meta Business Manager or your BSP, and use once approved. Most clear approval within 24 hours. Adapt the wording to your brand voice but keep the variable structure and category aligned to maximise approval rate.
How many templates can I have approved per WhatsApp Business Account?
Meta caps active templates at 250 per WABA. Use the cap strategically — keep your highest-engagement templates active and retire low-engagement ones. Templates can be deleted and re-submitted, so the 250 limit is not a permanent ceiling.
Should I submit all 47 templates at once?
No. Submit 5–10 at a time so you can monitor approval patterns and rejection reasons before submitting more. If 3 templates from the same batch get rejected for similar reasons, fix the pattern before pushing the next batch.
How do I localise these templates for Hindi or regional languages?
Each language requires a separate template submission with the correct language code (hi_IN for Hindi, ta_IN for Tamil, te_IN for Telugu, mr_IN for Marathi, bn_IN for Bengali). Keep variable counts and structure identical across languages so your application logic does not have to branch per locale.
