Which WhatsApp category does this template use?+
Utility. The message is transactional and tied to a real event the person attended, so it belongs in the utility category rather than marketing — as long as you keep any offers or promotions out of the body.
Do attendees need to opt in before I send it?+
Yes. Valid opt-in and consent still apply to utility templates. The utility category defines how the message is billed and reviewed, but you should only message attendees who have agreed to hear from you — typically captured at registration or ticket purchase.
Can I edit the wording?+
Yes, within utility rules. You can change the phrasing, the number of variables, or the button labels, but avoid adding promotions or offers, and re-submit the edited template for Meta approval before you use it.
How quickly can I start sending after submitting?+
Template review is usually completed within a day. Once it is approved, you can send it instantly and at scale from InfiQ the moment your event ends.
How is a CSAT message billed?+
WhatsApp bills per delivered message by category. Each utility CSAT message you send is charged at Meta's utility rate on the live rate card, and any reply the attendee sends within the next 24 hours is free to handle inside that service window.
Can I collect the rating without a survey link?+
Yes. The three quick-reply buttons capture the CSAT score with a single tap, so attendees never leave WhatsApp or open a browser. You can still add a follow-up utility message if a low score needs a deeper explanation.
What happens after someone taps a rating?+
Their reply opens a 24-hour service window in which you can respond for free — thank happy guests, or route low scores to your team to follow up. InfiQ captures each button response so you can track satisfaction across events.
Can I send it in Hindi or another regional language?+
Yes. Create a separate version of the template in Hindi or your attendees' preferred language, submit it for approval, and use it for the relevant audience. Regional versions typically lift response rates for local and community events.
