One Thawe room reminder, from the lodge's list to a pilgrim's phone
A Gopalganj lodge has a family booked for the Chaitra fair at Thawe. Before its reminder reaches the family, it passes through each of these layers. Watch it go down.
Most of the layers are decisions the lodge makes once: get the yes at booking, write the template in Hindi, choose the right category. After that, every reminder for every fair falls through the same stack.
The bottom layer is where the conversation returns to the family's own language. The 24-hour service window explains what a reply allows.

Questions Gopalganj businesses ask
- Families book our Gopalganj lodge for the Chaitra fair at the Thawe Durga temple. Can they get a reminder the evening before?
- Yes, if they agreed to updates when booking. A reminder about a room they booked is a utility template at ₹0.19, approved in Hindi, with the date and check-in time as variables. If they reply with a question, your answers are replies at ₹0.145.
- Retailers write to our wholesale shop in Mirganj market in Bhojpuri. Can our WhatsApp templates be in Bhojpuri?
- No. Bhojpuri is not one of Meta's template languages, so templates must be in Hindi (hi), English or another supported language. Replies are not templates, so your staff can answer retailers in Bhojpuri whenever they write first.
- We supply a sugar mill's stores from the Sidhwalia industrial area. Can our delivery note carry the invoice?
- Yes. A delivery note for an order the mill placed is a utility template at ₹0.19, with the invoice PDF as its header and the challan and vehicle numbers as variables. The stores' questions afterwards are replies at ₹0.145.
- Our Gopalganj car service takes families to the Pitambara Peeth at Kuchaikote. Is the fare we quote a marketing message?
- No. The family asked, so the fare, the timing and the route are replies at ₹0.145 each, in Bhojpuri or Hindi. If they book and you send the driver's details the night before, that is a utility template at ₹0.19.
- We trade turmeric, one of Gopalganj's two ODOP crops. Can we tell last season's buyers when the new crop is ready?
- Only buyers who agreed to hear about new crops. A new-crop note is a marketing template at ₹0.94, sent to buyers whose opt-in is recorded with its source and date. An order confirmation for a buyer who has ordered is utility.
- Our oil mill in the Hatua industrial area bills dealers in Busy. Can payment reminders go out on WhatsApp by themselves?
- Yes. InfiQ's native Busy integration sends invoices and automatic payment reminders on WhatsApp with no integration fee. Each reminder to a dealer's Indian number is a utility message at ₹0.19, sent in Hindi or English.
