Which category should I submit this under?+
Utility. A booking or token confirmation is a transactional message tied to a real, buyer-initiated action, so it belongs in the Utility category — the lower-cost, faster-approved lane. Adding any promotion pushes it into Marketing and risks rejection.
Does an order confirmation need an opt-out line?+
No. Opt-out lines are a Marketing requirement. This is a Utility message tied to a real booking, so it doesn't carry a promotional opt-out. That said, general opt-in and consent for messaging the customer still apply.
Do I still need consent to send it?+
Consent to be contacted on WhatsApp still applies, but because the message is tied to a genuine transaction the buyer initiated (their booking or payment), it fits the Utility category. Capture opt-in at the booking form or site visit as a matter of course.
Can I edit the wording?+
Yes. You can rewrite the copy, but keep it strictly informational to stay within Utility rules — no offers or urgency. Any wording change means re-submitting the template to Meta for approval before you can send it.
How is this billed now?+
Per delivered message at Meta's Utility rate on the live India rate card, with InfiQ's transparent ₹ pricing on top (ex-GST). Since 1 July 2025 WhatsApp bills per message by category, not per conversation; the 24-hour reply window is a free service window, not a billing unit.
How quickly can I start sending after submitting?+
Template review is usually completed within a day. Once approved, you can trigger the confirmation instantly from InfiQ the moment a booking or payment is reconciled — automated from your CRM or sent manually.
Can I map the variables straight from my CRM?+
Yes. All six variables — buyer name, booking ID, unit, project, amount and brand — can be populated automatically from your CRM or booking system at send time via InfiQ, so each message is personalised without manual typing.
Can I send it in Hindi or a regional language?+
Yes. Create a separate template in Hindi, Marathi, Tamil or your buyers' language and submit it for approval as its own Utility template. Regional-language confirmations often improve read-through in tier-2 and tier-3 markets.
