Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Meta take to approve a message template?
Most standard templates submitted via WhatNexis are evaluated by Meta’s automated AI within 1 to 5 minutes. In rare cases where human review is triggered, approval may take up to 24 hours.
Can I edit a message template after it has been approved?
Yes. Meta allows you to edit approved templates. However, any modification sends the template back through the review process, during which the previous version cannot be sent.
What are Quick Reply buttons versus Call-to-Action buttons?
Quick Reply Buttons allow users to tap a pre-defined text response (e.g., "Confirm COD", "Speak to Agent"), sending that text back into the chat. Call-to-Action Buttons direct the user to an external website URL (e.g., "Track Order") or trigger a phone call to your business.
Can I include emojis in WhatsApp templates?
Yes. Emojis are fully supported and encourage engagement when used tastefully. Avoid stuffing sentences with continuous emoji strings, which can trigger spam filters.
