Template Library
Template library for WhatsApp
Your next WhatsApp message is already written. Browse 52 ready-made templates built for the messages businesses send every day, pick the one that fits, make it yours, and submit it for approval.
> π Written for real industries, in the languages your customers speak. Find one you like and you could be sending this week.

What's new
π 52 templates, ready to use
- Built around the messages that work:Appointment reminders, follow-ups, promotions and service updates, across 32 marketing and 20 utility templates. Proven message types, already written well.
- Written for specific industries:Home services, web design, legal, beauty and wellness, insurance, property inspection and more. The wording already sounds like your client's business, so you are adjusting rather than inventing.
- Six languages out of the box:English (US), English (UK), Spanish, Portuguese (BR), French and German. Your Spanish and Portuguese-speaking customers get messages written in their language, with the tone intact.

π Find the right one in seconds
- Browse, search and filter:Narrow by category, tag or language, search by keyword, or sort by most popular to see what is working for other businesses.
- Keep your favourites close:Favourite the templates you reach for most, and see them alongside your own.
βοΈ Make it yours, then send
- Edit everything:Change the name, language, header, body and variables. Add an image, video or document header to make it feel like you.
- See it before you submit:The live preview shows exactly how the message will land on your customer's phone.
- Built the way Meta expects:Every template follows WhatsApp's structure from the start, so you are submitting on solid ground. Meta reviews it as it would any template.
Where this pays off
- Agencies onboarding a new client:Stand up a complete set of templates on day one, so your client sees value in their first week rather than their first month.
- Reaching Spanish and Portuguese-speaking markets:Message customers in their own language with wording that was written for it, which is exactly where WhatsApp engagement is strongest.
- Teams new to WhatsApp templates:Start from a working example and learn the format by editing it. The fastest way to get good at templates is to begin with a good one.
- Businesses running the proven plays:Appointment reminders and follow-ups already work. Take a strong version, add your details, and get it live.
How to use it
- Go to Settings β Communications β WhatsApp β Templates.
- Click Create templateand choosePre-built templates.
- Browse, search or filter by category and language to find one that fits.
- Select it, then edit the name, language, header, body and variables.

Why this matters for your business
WhatsApp is where your customers already are, and a good template is what turns that into conversations, bookings and sales. The library gives you a running start on all of it: proven message types, industry-specific wording, and the languages your markets actually speak, ready to adapt in minutes.
- Get a new client sending in their first week, with a full set of templates from day one
- Reach every market in its own language, with wording written for it rather than translated into it
- Put your energy into the messages that are unique to you, and take the standard ones off the shelf

Forms
Forms via WhatsApp Flows
Your leads are already talking to you on WhatsApp. Until now, collecting their details meant sending them a link, which meant sending them away. You can now open your form inside the conversation, so the lead answers your questions without ever leaving the chat.
> π Every link out of a WhatsApp conversation is a place a lead can quietly disappear. This removes that step entirely.

What's new
π¬ Your form, inside the conversation
- No redirect, no browser:Send a form as a WhatsApp Flow and the customer fills it in the chat window they are already in. They never switch apps, so there is no landing page to abandon and no "I'll do it later" moment.
- Use the forms you already built:Pick any existing form instead of rebuilding it for WhatsApp. If you need a new one, you can build it without leaving the Flows screen.

π See exactly what they will see
- Live preview as you build:Your fields render as a real WhatsApp Flow while you configure it, so what you approve is what lands on the customer's phone.
- Only supported field types are carried over:Field types WhatsApp Flows cannot render are left out before you publish, so you find out at build time instead of discovering it from a broken send.

π₯ Answers land where you work
- Straight into Forms > Submissions:Every response is stored and mapped to the right contact automatically. Nobody copies anything from a chat into the CRM.
- Published flows stay stable:Once a flow is published, later edits to the underlying form do not change what it collects, so your data stays consistent across a campaign.

How to use it
- Go to Settings β WhatsApp β Flowsand clickCreate Flow.
- Choose Form submission.
- Select the form you want to send and check the live preview.
- Configure the WhatsApp template that carries it, including the button customers tap to open the form.
- Publish, then send it from Conversations, a workflow, or a bulk action.

Why this matters for your business
The gap between "interested lead" and "qualified lead" is usually a form, and that form usually lives on a website. Every redirect you ask a lead to take is a step where attention leaks: they tap the link, a browser opens, something distracts them, and the conversation goes cold with the questions still unanswered. Keeping the form inside WhatsApp removes the handoff that causes it.
- No handoff to lose people at.The question and the answer happen in the same thread, on the app they already have open.
- Qualified before the first conversation.Budget, goal, timing and anything else you ask for arrive attached to the lead, so your team opens with the plan instead of the questionnaire.
- No manual data entry.Responses map to the contact on their own, which keeps your pipeline clean without anybody re-typing.
- Works for more than intake.Lead qualification, onboarding, feedback and registrations all run the same way.

Carousel templates for WhatsApp
Show up to ten products, offers or services in a single WhatsApp message. Each card gets its own image or video and its own buttons, and your customer swipes through them right in the chat. One send, one marketing message charge, a whole range on display.
> π One message used to mean one offer. Now it can mean ten, and the customer tells you exactly which one they want by which card they tap.

What's new
π Up to ten cards in one message
- A scrollable row of cards:Write your message body once, then attach between 2 and 10 cards. Each card carries its own image or video header, optional text, and up to two buttons. Customers swipe horizontally without leaving the conversation.
- One message, not ten:WhatsApp bills per message, so a ten-card carousel costs you a single marketing message instead of ten separate sends. It also counts once against your messaging limits rather than ten times.

π Buttons that tell you what they actually want
- Two buttons per card:Mix quick reply, call, and website buttons. A tap on card three is a far stronger signal than a tap on a generic "Shop now", because you learn which product caught them.
- Quick replies keep them in the chat:A quick reply button answers in the thread and fires a webhook you can route into a workflow, so you can follow up on the specific item without sending anyone to a browser.
- Per-card links:Each card's website button can carry its own variable, so card one goes to that product's page and card two goes to a different one.
πΌ Image or video on every card
- Show the thing, not a description:Headers take images or video, automatically cropped to fit the customer's device. Good for product drops, property listings, menu items, class schedules, or a seasonal offer set.

How to use it
- Go to Settings β WhatsApp β Templatesand clickCreate template.
- Set CategorytoMarketingand choose theCarouseltype.
- Write your message body, then add your cards with their images or video, text and buttons.
- Submit for Meta approval and send from Conversations, a workflow, or a bulk action.
Two things to plan for:
- Card count is locked at approval.A template approved with five cards always sends five. If you want a four-card version too, that is a second template.
- Every card must match.If one card has body text, they all need body text. If one has two buttons, they all need two buttons. This is what keeps the card heights even as customers swipe.

Why this matters for your business
Marketing on WhatsApp has always forced a choice: send one offer and hope it is the right one, or send several messages and pay for each while eating into the frequency limits Meta applies per customer. Carousels remove that trade-off. You put the range in front of someone in a single send, and their tap tells you which item to follow up on instead of leaving you guessing.
- Lower cost per offer shown.Ten products for the price of one marketing message.
- Lighter touch on messaging limits.One send against your per-customer frequency, not ten.
- Sharper intent data.You learn which product, not just that someone was interested.
- Fewer wasted sends.No need to guess which single offer to lead with.
- Reusable across your clients.Product drops, property listings, menus, class timetables and service tiers all fit the same format.

β¨ Reviews AI Agents are now more flexible and customisable
Whatβs New
Weβve enhanced Reviews AI Agents with new controls to improve response quality, brand consistency, and safety.
The key additions are Brand Voice controls, Quality Guardrails, Sensitive Review Holds, and Live Response Preview β giving businesses more confidence and control before AI-generated responses are published.
Key Capabilities
- Brand Voice Controls
Businesses can now fine-tune how each AI agent sounds by configuring:
βWeβ or βIβ response style
- Business name
- Tone traits
- Response length and character limits
- Sign-off / footer preferences
- This helps keep AI-generated responses aligned with each brandβs voice.
2.
Quality Guardrails
New guardrails help improve response consistency and reduce risky AI output.
Businesses can enable controls to:
- Remember recent responses
- Avoid repeating the same opening lines
- Avoid risky language such as refund promises, guarantees, fault admissions, liability statements, or medical and financial advice
- Hold Sensitive Reviews for Human Review
Businesses can now prevent sensitive reviews from being published automatically.
When enabled, higher-risk reviews can be held for human review before posting, giving teams an extra layer of control where it matters most.
- Live Response Preview
Users can preview how an AI agent will respond before saving the configuration.
The preview includes examples for:
- Positive reviews
- Neutral reviews
- Negative reviews
Responses can also be regenerated as users adjust tone, prompts, and other settings.
Why It Matters
β’ Keeps AI responses aligned with the brandβs voice
β’ Reduces repetitive and potentially risky responses
β’ Adds human oversight for sensitive review scenarios
β’ Makes it easier to test and fine-tune agents before going live
β’ Gives businesses more confidence when automating review responses

Bulk Manage Reviews AI in Agency Setup
Problem Statement
Agencies had to manage Reviews AI separately for each sub-account, with no way to control response modes in bulk or from the Agency view.
What we did
Agencies can now manage Reviews AI directly from Agency β AI Suite β AI Setup.
- Set Reviews AI to Off, Suggestive, or Auto responses.
- Update the mode for one or multiple sub-accounts at once.
- Agency and sub-account settings stay automatically in sync.
Impact
- Manage at scale: Control Reviews AI across multiple sub-accounts from one place.
- Faster rollout: Update response modes in bulk instead of account by account.
- Better agency control: Decide which sub-accounts use Reviews AI and how AI responds.
- Always in sync: Changes made by sub-accounts are automatically reflected in the Agency view.
How to do it?
- Go to Agency β AI Suite β AI Setup.
- Select one or multiple sub-accounts.
- Set the response mode to Off, Suggestive, or Auto responses.
- If a sub-account updates its mode under Settings β Reviews AI, the change is automatically reflected in the Agency view.
Note:
Reviews AI can also be disabled from Agency β Sub-Accounts β Features & Limits β Reviews AI. When disabled:Reviews AI settings, AI Reply, and Regenerate are hidden for that sub-account.
All AI review replies are blocked, including manual AI replies, auto responses, and Drip Campaign replies.
