Which WhatsApp category is this template?+
Utility. It references a specific completed order or interaction and asks only for feedback, with no promotion — so it qualifies for the cheaper utility category and usually approves within a day.
Do I need opt-in to send a CSAT message?+
Consent still applies as a baseline for messaging a customer on WhatsApp, but utility templates are tied to a real action the customer took (like placing an order), so you are messaging in the natural context of that transaction rather than marketing to them.
Is an opt-out line required?+
No. Opt-out language is mandatory for marketing templates, not utility ones. Keep this CSAT template free of any promotion and it stays utility, with no opt-out line needed.
Can I add 'rate us and get a discount'?+
No — adding any incentive or offer reclassifies the template as Marketing, which changes the billing rate and requires an opt-out line. Keep this template purely informational and run any reward in a separate marketing template.
How much does it cost to send?+
WhatsApp bills per delivered message by category since 1 July 2025, and this template sends at the utility rate. Through InfiQ you pay transparent ₹ pricing, ex-GST — use the cost calculator to model your monthly volume.
What happens when a customer taps a button?+
Their tap sends a structured quick-reply your automation can read and branch on — routing unhappy customers to an agent, nudging happy ones toward a review — and it opens a free 24-hour service window for your follow-up messages.
Can I edit the wording or add my own buttons?+
Yes. You can change the copy, variables and button labels, but keep everything within utility rules (transactional, no promotion, quick-reply rating buttons) and re-submit the edited template for approval.
How fast can I start sending after submitting?+
Well-formed utility templates are typically approved within a day. Once approved, you can send instantly at scale through InfiQ, triggered automatically by your delivery or ticket-close events.
