WhatsApp Opt-In Consent Generator

Under the DPDP Act 2023 consent must be free, specific, informed, unambiguous and given by a clear affirmative action — and it must be as easy to withdraw as it was to give (Section 6). In practice that means an unticked, purpose-specific opt-in (never pre-checked or bundled with your Terms), a plain notice telling the person what messages they will get and how to stop, and a stored record proving when and how they agreed. This generator produces both the wording and the record fields for each channel.

Yes. If Meta, a customer or the Data Protection Board asks how a person opted in, you must be able to show it. The safe minimum per contact is: the phone number, the source channel, a timestamp, the notice version they saw, the purpose (marketing / utility), and channel-specific proof (page URL and IP for web, order ID for checkout, the inbound message for QR/Click-to-WhatsApp, the scanned form for paper). Keep it for as long as you message the person, plus a reasonable buffer after opt-out.

A person messaging you first opens the 24-hour customer-service window so you can reply freely, and for Click-to-WhatsApp or QR entry the inbound message is a reasonable opt-in signal for related messaging — but it is not blanket consent to send unrelated marketing broadcasts later. For marketing templates outside the window, capture a specific marketing opt-in and log it. Treat "started a chat" and "agreed to marketing" as two different records.

No. DLT (the TRAI registration for SMS and voice) does not apply to WhatsApp. WhatsApp uses Meta template approval plus your own DPDP-compliant opt-in and opt-out — not DLT scrubbing. If a vendor tells you that you must complete DLT to send WhatsApp broadcasts, that is incorrect.

No. Consent has to come from the person before you message them, on a channel they chose — you cannot retro-fit consent to a purchased, scraped or rented list. Messaging non-opted-in numbers drives blocks and reports, which lower your WhatsApp quality rating and can get the number restricted. Every contact you broadcast to should trace back to one of the opt-in records this tool describes.

This generator gives practical, ready-to-adapt wording and record fields, not legal advice — have your final consent copy and privacy notice reviewed by a lawyer for your business.
