Build the message around its real customer purpose.

WhatsApp templates support business-initiated communication and messages outside the customer service window.

Choose the correct category.

Match marketing, utility or authentication to the actual customer purpose. Category and content should tell the same story.

Give each placeholder realistic sample data and keep the surrounding text clear without depending on the variable to explain the message.

Use image, video or document headers intentionally and ensure each action button has a useful destination.

Use approved templates only, synchronize Meta state and resolve missing media or parameters before a campaign enters the queue.
