For Bongaigaon's maize traders, the lodges and cabs that meet trains at New Bongaigaon Junction, the guides who take visitors to Koyakujia Beel and the Jogighopa cave, and the shops of the town: which message is a reply, which a utility or marketing template, which languages work, and what each costs.

See it work

Four Bongaigaon trades, three kinds of message

A maize trader, a lodge near the junction, a cab that takes visitors to Koyakujia Beel and a town shop. Focus a cell to see what each may send and which kind of message it is.

The left column is free of templates and free of language limits: a grower who writes in Assamese or Bodo gets an answer in Assamese or Bodo. The middle and right columns are templates, and those have to be in a language Meta supports.

That is the whole of Bongaigaon's language question in one grid. The 24-hour service window explains what a reply allows.

Questions Bongaigaon businesses ask

Growers write to our Bongaigaon maize trading firm in Assamese. Can our WhatsApp templates be in Assamese too?+
No. Assamese is not one of Meta's template languages, so the weighing slip and payment note must be approved in Bengali (bn), Hindi (hi) or English. Replies are not templates, so your staff can answer growers in Assamese whenever they write first.
Passengers arriving at New Bongaigaon Junction book our cab to Koyakujia Beel or the Jogighopa rock-cut cave. Can they get the driver's number before the train comes in?+
Yes. A pickup note for a ride the passenger booked is a utility template at ₹0.19, with the driver's name, the vehicle number and the meeting point as variables. Their questions on the way are replies at ₹0.145.
Bongaigaon lists Assamese, Bengali, Hindi and Bodo. Our shop's customers speak all four. Which template languages can we use?+
Bengali (bn) and Hindi (hi), plus English. Bodo, like Assamese, is not a Meta template language. Write each template in Bengali and Hindi under one name, let customers choose, and answer replies in whichever of the four languages they write.
Visitors ask our Bongaigaon guesthouse the way to the Bagheswari temple, the oldest in the town. Is our answer a marketing message?+
No. The visitor wrote first, so the route, the timing and the price of a car are replies at ₹0.145 each, in any language. Only a message you send after the 24-hour window has closed needs an approved template.
We sell Bongaigaon maize to buyers outside Assam. Can the dispatch note and the invoice go together on WhatsApp?+
Yes. A dispatch note for an order the buyer placed is a utility template at ₹0.19, with the invoice PDF as its header and the truck number and bag count as variables. It costs the India rate wherever in India the buyer is.
Our Bongaigaon transport firm runs trucks to the state capital, 210 km away. Can each consignee get the expected arrival time?+
Yes. An arrival note for a consignment the customer booked is a utility template at ₹0.19, with the truck number, the driver's number and the expected time as variables. If the consignee replies to ask about delay, your answers are replies.
