Does a "back in stock" message even make sense for insurance?+
Yes, reframed correctly. Insurance products don't go out of stock like retail, but plans close and reopen: enrolment windows, re-priced relaunches, returning riders, and quotes that become valid again. This template covers exactly those "the plan you wanted is available again" moments.
Which category do I submit this as?+
Marketing. It has promotional intent — you're prompting a purchase or re-quote. Submitting a promotional message as Utility to save on rate is the number-one rejection cause and can hurt your template quality rating.
Does it need opt-in?+
Yes. Marketing templates on WhatsApp require prior opt-in from the recipient, and every send must include an opt-out path. That's why the body ends with "Reply STOP" and includes a Stop promotions button.
Can I edit the wording?+
Yes, as long as you stay within Marketing category rules — keep it truthful, keep the opt-out line, and keep claims compliant with IRDAI and ASCI norms. Any edit means resubmitting the template for approval.
How is it billed?+
Per delivered message at the Marketing rate on Meta's live India rate card, plus InfiQ's transparent ₹ platform pricing (ex-GST). Since 1 July 2025, WhatsApp bills per delivered message by category, not per conversation.
Does the free 24-hour window make this cheaper?+
No. The 24-hour service window only makes replies to a customer's inbound message free — it's not a billing unit for outbound marketing. A business-initiated "back in stock" send bills at the Marketing rate regardless.
How fast can I start sending?+
After template approval, which usually completes within a day, you can send instantly through InfiQ to your opted-in insurance contacts. You keep full ownership of your BSUID and WhatsApp assets.
Can I send this in Hindi or another Indian language?+
Yes. Create a language-specific version of the template and submit it separately for approval. A message in the customer's own language typically lifts read and reply rates for insurance audiences.
