For the harvest buyers who deal with Attili mandal's prawn and fish ponds, the traders who buy its paddy and coconuts, and the shops of a mandal headquarters with its own railway station: how a pond owner climbs from a passed-on number to a regular seller on WhatsApp, which message each rung allows, and what each costs.
See it work
One Attili pond owner, from a passed-on number to a regular seller
A prawn buyer's agent gets a pond owner's number from another farmer in the mandal. Climb the ladder to see what the agent may send at each rung, and what moves the pond owner up.
The bottom rung is where a buyer's desk goes wrong. A number from the canal bank feels like a lead, but its owner has not agreed to hear from the agent. Once the pond owner writes first, everything said for the next 24 hours is a reply.
Meta defines utility templates as transactional or informational and marketing templates as promotional, so a rate list sent to win the next harvest sits on the top rung. The 24-hour service window explains what a reply allows.

Tier 4 · Agreed to hear when the rate moves
Marketing templates too
Why: After a crop or two, the pond owner says yes to hearing the rate when it changes, and the agent records it.
A rate note before the next crop is ready, sent only to pond owners whose yes is recorded with its date and source; STOP ends it.
Move 3 of 3: climbs to tier 4, Agreed to hear when the rate moves (Marketing templates too). After a crop or two, the pond owner says yes to hearing the rate when it changes, and the agent records it.

Telugu for the ponds, English and Hindi for buyers further away
Telugu is one of Meta's template languages, so the weighing slip and the payment note can go in the language the pond owner writes in.
Each language is a separate template under the same name, approved by Meta on its own. Replies need no template, so staff answer in whatever a customer writes; InfiQ's own support works in English and Hindi.

Questions Attili businesses ask
- Q1
A farmer gave our prawn buyer's desk in Attili the number of a pond owner who is about to harvest. Can we send him our rate straight away?
No. A number passed on by another farmer is not consent, and an unasked rate list is a marketing message. Ask the farmer to tell the pond owner to write to you; then the rate, the harvest date and the lorry are replies at ₹0.145 each for 24 hours, with no template.
- Q2
After a harvest in Attili mandal, can the weighing slip with count and weight reach the pond owner on WhatsApp before the lorry leaves?
Yes. A weighing slip for a harvest the pond owner booked is a utility template at ₹0.19, approved once in Telugu, with the count, the weight and the vehicle number as variables. The payment note that follows is utility too.
- Q3
Our shop near Attili railway station gets stock questions in Telugu all morning. Do our answers need Meta's approval?
No. When a customer writes first, your answers for the next 24 hours are ordinary replies at ₹0.145 each, in Telugu or any language. Only messages you start after a quiet day need an approved template.
- Q4
We buy paddy and coconuts from villages across the Attili and Iragavaram mandals. Can lorry drivers get the pickup point on WhatsApp?
Yes. A pickup note for a load the farmer agreed to sell is a utility template at ₹0.19, with the village, the time and the lorry number as variables. Send the farmer's copy in Telugu and the driver's in Hindi if he prefers it; each language is approved separately.
- Q5
Pond owners across the Tadepalligudem revenue division ask our feed shop in Attili about new stock. Can we tell all of them when it arrives?
Only those who agreed to hear about stock. A new-stock note sent unasked is a marketing template at ₹0.94. Ask for the yes at the counter or when a customer next writes, and InfiQ records when and where each one was given; a STOP reply ends it.
- Q6
A processor's office handles our invoices in English while the pond owners around Attili write in Telugu. Do we need two sets of templates?
For messages that go to both, yes: Meta approves English (India) (en_IN) and Telugu (te) versions of a template separately under one name. Send the payment note to the pond owner in Telugu and the invoice to the office in English.
