WhatsApp Business API for Dharmanagar's agar processors, fruit traders and shops

North Tripura has more agar trees than any other district in the state, and families across it grow and process agarwood.

For Dharmanagar's agar growers and processors, North Tripura's pineapple and orange traders, the town's shops and coaching centres, and the paying-guest stays on the Jampui Hills: how one order travels on WhatsApp from enquiry to delivery, Bengali and English templates, and the rupee cost of each message.

See it work

One agar order, message by message

Follow an order from a Dharmanagar processor's first reply to a buyer who asks to hear about the next batch. Each arrow is one WhatsApp message, and each box says which kind.

The same flow fits a pineapple truck in season or a sack of oranges from the hills: the buyer writes, the seller replies, the order is confirmed, and every update after that is a utility message about that order.

Only the last box changes what the seller may do next. A buyer who agrees to hear about the next batch can receive an offer as a marketing template; one who did not should not.

Questions Dharmanagar businesses ask

A perfume maker in another state asks our Kadamtala agar unit for grades and prices of agar oil. Can we send photos in reply?+
Yes. Their message opens 24 hours in which you can send photos, grades and prices in any language, with no template. Each reply is charged at ₹0.145. Once they order, dispatch and delivery notes go as utility templates at ₹0.19.
Our Dharmanagar fruit business sends pineapple trucks to buyers in season. Can we tell each buyer when their truck has left?+
Yes. A truck-departure notice for a buyer's own order is a utility template, approved once in Bengali or English and sent at ₹0.19. It can go whenever the truck leaves, even if the buyer has not written for weeks.
Customers in Dharmanagar write to us in Kokborok as well as Bengali. Can our templates be in Kokborok?+
No. Kokborok is not on Meta's template list, so templates go in Bengali (bn), English or Hindi. Replies inside the 24-hour window are free-form, so your staff can answer a customer in Kokborok whenever the customer has written first.
Visitors book our paying-guest rooms at Vanghmun on the Jampui Hills. Can we send the booking confirmation and directions on WhatsApp?+
Yes. A booking confirmation and the directions for a stay already booked are utility templates at ₹0.19. Guests' questions about the road or the weather while their window is open are free-form replies at ₹0.145.
Our coaching centre in Dharmanagar wants to remind parents about fees and class changes. Is that allowed on WhatsApp?+
Yes, to parents who gave you their number for the course and agreed to receive updates. Fee reminders and timetable changes are utility templates. An advertisement for a new batch is marketing and needs the parent's opt-in to offers.
Some of our customers are across the border in Bangladesh, which North Tripura shares for 96 km. What does a message to a +880 number cost?+
Meta charges by the recipient's country code, so a Bangladesh number is billed at Bangladesh's rate, not India's. InfiQ publishes that rate in rupees on the [pricing page](/pricing) and invoices in rupees with GST.
