Frequently asked questions
Can I use these templates with WhatsApp Business?
Yes. Templates marked as utility or marketing are compatible with the WhatsApp Business API. Conversational templates (responding to customer-initiated messages) do not require pre-approval.
What are the {{name}} variables in the templates?
Double-brace variables are dynamic fields you replace with real customer data — name, date, order number, etc. — for each message you send.
Do I need the WhatsApp API to use these templates?
For proactive messages (reminders, confirmations, promotions) you need the WhatsApp Business API. To respond to customers who message you first, the WhatsApp Business App is sufficient.
