Note:
- Upon sending the template message the conversation will not move from the All conversation tab to the Active Conversation tab.
- Template messages will be charged separately to each message sent as pre-existing WhatsApp plan and rates.
- The customer will not be charged if the conversation is under the Customer care window (up to 24 hours following the last message that the customer sends to the business)
- As per the platform’s standard process, when a file is selected from a device to be converted into a URL, the resulting URL typically follows the format:botref-[file name]. This is by design, to avoid overwriting existing files and ensure the original file is retained.
Thus, as a best practice we strongly recommend appending unique identifier to each file name.
Allow agents permission to send the template message
This gives the owner of the account to control and flexibility over who on their team can leverage Engati’s templated messaging capabilities.
Note:
By default select “Only Owners can send the template messages”
Only the Owners will be able to view this security setting.
