How To Create And Submit A WhatsApp Message Template For Approval?
Effortlessly create WhatsApp templates for your campaigns or customer interactions using Knorish. This guide will walk you through the step-by-step process to ensure your template complies with Meta’s guidelines and is approved for use. You can either choose a pre-designed template from the Template Library or start from scratch—both options are available based on your preference.
IMPORTANT NOTE: You must warm up your WhatsApp for Business account by gradually increasing the number of messages sent. Sending too many messages too quickly will lead to the WhatsApp account health rating dropping and may even lead to blocking of your account by Meta.
