WhatsApp Business API for Bettiah's clinics, colleges and Valmiki Nagar trips

Trade 1
Clinics, labs and colleges
The district headquarters, with a medical and an engineering college, draws patients and students from all 18 blocks.
Trade 2
Valmiki Nagar trips
The dam on the Gandak and the tiger reserve bring visitors who book cars and rooms through Bettiah.
For Bettiah's clinics and labs near the Government Medical College, its coaching centres and colleges, and the car operators and lodges that take visitors to Valmiki Nagar, some of them from across the Nepal border: which messages a business may send first, at which rate, in which language, and when a plain reply is enough.
See it work
May a Bettiah business send this message?
A lab, a coaching centre and a Valmiki Nagar car operator all ask the same question before they write first. Answer three or four questions and the tree tells you what kind of message it is and what it costs.
Most of what a Bettiah clinic or car operator sends ends at the first outcome: someone wrote, and the business answered. The tree only gets long when the business writes first, and the branch that catches people out is the last one, an offer to someone who never agreed to offers.
The 24-hour service window explains the first question, and the Nepal guide covers +977 numbers, Nepal's rules and the rate.

Market brief
Bettiah and West Champaran in eight lines
From the West Champaran district website and IBEF's Bihar profile, with the town's institutions and status from the encyclopaedia.
- 01
West Champaran was carved out of the old Champaran district in 1972, with Bettiah as its headquarters; it covers 5,228 sq km with 18 blocks, 7 municipalities and 1,483 villages.[1]

The district links Bettiah's name to the baint (cane) plants common in the district.[1],[3]

The Bettiah Raj traced its title of Raja to Emperor Shah Jahan; the last Maharaja died in 1893, and the palace at the centre of the town was built in 1910 after the plan of Graham's palace in Calcutta.[2]
- 04
Told of the indigo cultivators' plight by Raj Kumar Shukla, Gandhi came to Champaran in 1917 and launched the Champaran Satyagraha against the British indigo planters.[2]
- 05
Valmiki Nagar, formerly Bhainsa Lotan, has a dam on the Gandak, and the district lists the Valmiki Nagar National Park and Tiger Reserve and an Indo-Nepal barrage there.[4],[1]

Bettiah lies near the Indo-Nepal border, became a municipal corporation on 26 December 2020, and has a Government Medical College and a Government Engineering College.[6]

Hindi is the official language with Urdu as an additional official language, and Bhojpuri is spoken across the region.[6]

Bhojpuri and Nepali are not template languages. Inside the 24-hour window after a customer writes, your staff can reply in either, with no template needed. InfiQ's own support team works in English and Hindi.

What a Bettiah business runs on InfiQ
The tools behind each branch of the tree.
- Consent records and opt-out enforcement
Each patient's, student's or guest's yes to offers is recorded with its source and date, which is what the last branch of the tree asks for; STOP replies are enforced at platform level.
- Template manager and library
Draft the Hindi report-ready, pickup and batch-time templates from the library, keep offers in separate templates, and track each through Meta's approval.
- Published per-market rates
The rate for a +977 number is published in rupees, so a lodge knows what a pickup note to a Nepali guest costs before it sends.
- Shared team inbox
The front desk, the lab and the doctor's assistant answer one number, with notes and transfers: 10 users on Lite and 25 on Growth.

Questions Bettiah businesses ask
- Families book our car from Bettiah to Valmiki Nagar for the tiger reserve. Can the pickup note go on WhatsApp?
- Yes, to families who booked and agreed to updates. A pickup note with the time, the meeting point in Bettiah and the driver's number is a utility template at ₹0.19, approved once in Hindi. Questions they send back about the route are replies at ₹0.145 for 24 hours.
- Some guests at our Bettiah lodge come from across the Nepal border with +977 numbers. What does a message to them cost?
- Meta charges by country code, so a +977 number is billed at the Nepal rate, which InfiQ publishes in rupees on the pricing page. Save their numbers with +977, and write the template in Hindi or English, since Nepali is not a template language. Your invoice stays in rupees.
- Our lab near the Government Medical College in Bettiah wants to tell patients when reports are ready. Can the report itself go on WhatsApp?
- A report-ready notice is a utility template at ₹0.19, sent to patients who agreed to messages. Keep test details out of the template, and keep the report itself off WhatsApp: ask the patient to collect it at the counter, since Meta's policy limits health records on the platform. Questions the patient sends back are replies at ₹0.145.
- Most people in Bettiah write to us in Bhojpuri. Can our templates be in Bhojpuri?
- No. Bhojpuri is not among the languages Meta approves templates in, so write templates in Hindi (hi), with Urdu or English versions where customers read them. Inside the 24-hour window after a customer writes, your staff can reply in Bhojpuri freely.
- Our coaching centre near M.J.K. College in Bettiah messages students about batch timings. Is that utility or marketing?
- A change to the timing of a batch a student has joined is utility at ₹0.19. An announcement of a new batch to students who have not enrolled is marketing at ₹0.94, and goes only to those who opted in to offers. Keep the two in separate templates.
- Is the Lite plan enough for a Bettiah clinic with a front desk, a lab counter and an OPD desk?
- Usually, yes. Lite is ₹999 a month with the shared inbox for 10 users, so the three counters and the doctor can answer one number, plus each delivered message at the India rate. Growth, ₹2,999 a month, adds the developer API. Start with a 7-day Lite trial, no card needed.
