Four ways to run a conversation on WhatsApp

01

Conversational marketing

Rich promotional templates — carousels, limited-time offers, coupon codes — paired with quick-reply buttons that turn a broadcast into an action. Every send drives toward a click, a code, or a reply, not just an open.

Festive Carousel — 3 bundles, one tap to view.

02

Utility

Transactional templates with dynamic variables — order confirmations, delivery updates, and account alerts, filled in per recipient and sent the moment the triggering event happens.

A separate template category from Marketing, with its own approval path and messaging limits.

Conversational support

Automate answers to common questions and triage requests before they reach a human. When a conversation needs a person, it escalates to an agent with full context — cutting ticket volume without cutting satisfaction.

A template library that keeps you compliant

Every message you send through WhatsApp starts as a template — reviewed and categorized before it reaches a single customer. The library is where marketing, utility, and authentication templates live, get versioned, and move through approval.

Each template's quality signal is tracked independently, so one rejected or fatigued template doesn't put your whole number at risk.

Quality + Tier Guardrails

Sending too much, too fast, is the fastest way to damage a WhatsApp number's standing. Throttling rules slow sends when negative feedback spikes, and segment and frequency controls keep messaging relevant enough that customers don't block or report it.

This is the same discipline that keeps your quality rating and messaging tier intact as you scale.

Where conversations start

Automated flows can hand off to a human agent at any point — every automation stays inside Meta's messaging policies.

Built around Meta's rules, not around them

Every business-initiated conversation outside the 24-hour customer service window requires an approved template and prior opt-in — no exceptions. Templates are reviewed against Meta's policies before they go live. This is the same discipline that protects your quality rating and messaging tier in the guardrails above.
