Template Approval
WhatsApp templates are submitted to Meta for review and approval. The approval time may vary depending on Meta's review process. Once a template is approved, you can use it to send messages to your customers.
Common Reasons for Template Rejection
Policy Violations – The template contains spam, misleading information, or content that does not comply with Meta's policies.
Formatting Issues – The template contains incorrect formatting, invalid variables, or missing placeholders.
Promotional Content – The content is overly promotional, misleading, or uses aggressive marketing language.
Poor Quality – The message is unclear, contains excessive capitalization, or uses too many special characters.
Duplicate Content – The same or substantially similar template has already been submitted.
Low User Engagement – The template receives a high number of blocks or reports from users.
Make sure your templates follow Meta's WhatsApp Business Messaging guidelines to reduce the chances of rejection.
