FAQs

FAQ

Questions we get a lot.

Still curious? Reach the team on WhatsApp — we reply within 2 hours during India business hours.

How long does Meta take to approve a template?

+

15 minutes to 12 hours typical for clean templates; 24-72 hours for templates with complex media or borderline category. Rejection reasons are auto-parsed and shown in-dashboard with suggested fixes.

Can I update an approved template?

+

Meta does not allow editing approved templates. RichAutomate Template Builder lets you clone an existing variant, edit, submit as new version — original stays live while the new one is pending. Once approved, version A/B/C/D framework can route traffic.

What is the difference between Marketing, Utility, and Authentication templates?

+

Marketing (₹0.96/msg India) — promo blasts, opt-in required. Utility (₹0.115/msg) — transactional like order confirm, payment receipt; recipient consent inferred from prior transaction. Authentication (₹0.115/msg) — OTPs and time-bound login codes; highest WABA priority. Mismatched categorisation = automatic rejection + quality flag.

Can I send a template with image / video / PDF header?

+

Yes — header format IMAGE (JPG/PNG ≤5 MB), VIDEO (MP4 ≤16 MB), DOCUMENT (PDF/DOCX ≤100 MB). Provide a public HTTPS URL; RichAutomate handles the asset reference at send time. Send Template node auto-detects header format and prompts for the URL.

Can templates have variables like {{contact.name}}?

+

Templates use Meta-native variables {{1}}, {{2}}... up to {{25}} in body. RichAutomate Send Template node maps each to a value or a flow placeholder ({{contact.name}}, {{response.email}}, {{attr.city}}, {{now}}, {{today}}) at send time.
