Which category does this template belong to?+
Marketing. It promotes an offer, so it must be submitted as a Marketing template. Submitting a promotional message as Utility to get a cheaper rate is the top cause of rejection and can hurt your account quality rating.
Does it need customer opt-in?+
Yes. Marketing messages on WhatsApp can only go to customers who have explicitly opted in to receive promotions from your healthcare brand. The template also includes a clear opt-out line, which is required for marketing content.
How much does it cost to send?+
WhatsApp bills per delivered message by category. This is a Marketing template, so each delivered message is charged at Meta's marketing rate on the live rate card, plus InfiQ's transparent ₹ platform pricing (ex-GST). It is not billed per conversation.
Can I edit the wording?+
Yes. You can rewrite the copy — shorten it, add an incentive, or translate it — as long as it stays within Marketing-category rules and keeps the opt-out line. Any change is a new submission and must be re-approved before you send.
How fast can I start sending after approving it?+
Template approval usually comes back within a day. Once approved, you can send it instantly and at scale through InfiQ to your opted-in audience.
Can I send it in Hindi or another regional language?+
Yes. Create a separate language version — Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Bengali or others — with its own sample values and submit it for approval. Regional-language sends often lift engagement with Indian healthcare customers.
Is it compliant with healthcare advertising rules?+
It can be, if you use it responsibly. Keep every claim truthful under ASCI and Meta commerce policy, avoid disease-cure claims, and never use it to promote prescription-only medicines. The template structure supports compliance, but the offer content is your responsibility.
Why WhatsApp instead of SMS or email for offers?+
Healthcare customers open WhatsApp within minutes and act on personalised, one-tap messages far more often than on SMS or email. The name, offer and category variables make each send read like a 1:1 message rather than a blast.
