When to send

The right moment
for each one.

  • Right after a customer orders, so they know it went through.
  • When the order leaves you, with the day it should arrive.
  • On the delivery day, and once it’s delivered.
  • Whenever a date changes, before the customer has to ask.
Getting it approved

What Meta’s
reviewer looks for.

  • Keep each message about this one order. A discount or a product suggestion turns it into marketing, which Meta charges at a higher rate.
  • Put the order number in every message, so the customer and your team know which order it is.
  • A tracking button needs a fixed link: link to your tracking page, and put the order number in the message.

Utility templates are about the customer’s own order, account, booking, payment or request, or something essential for them to know, with nothing in them that promotes or persuades.

Sending it with Syniria

From the Inbox, to one customer

  • Write the template once in Syniria’s builder, or copy one from this page, and send it to Meta for review.
  • Once 24 hours have passed since the customer’s last message, open their chat in the Inbox and send it. Their first name fills in from the contact, and you type the rest, such as the order number or the time.
  • Within those 24 hours, just reply: no template is needed.

Questions, answered

Clear answers.
Before you start.

Know what your agent can do and how it fits your business.

Talk to the team
Is an order confirmation a utility or a marketing message?

Utility, as long as it’s only about the customer’s own order. Meta treats a message with an offer, a discount or a product suggestion as marketing, and charges it at the marketing rate.

Can I send order updates without a template?

Within 24 hours of the customer’s last message, yes: you can reply with any message. After that, WhatsApp only delivers an approved template, like the ones on this page.

Can the tracking button open each customer’s own order?

Syniria’s builder takes a fixed link for each button, so link to your tracking page and put the order number in the message, where the customer can copy it.

Every conversation has potential.
