For Krishnagiri's mango pulp units and growers' traders, behind the district's ODOP entry, its granite yards, the transporters at the junction where four national highways meet, and shops that serve customers in Tamil, Telugu and Kannada: how a dispatch note travels from billing to a buyer's phone, and what each message costs.

A Krishnagiri pulp unit's dispatch note, layer by layer
A mango pulp unit in Krishnagiri raises an invoice for a buyer's order of drums. Watch the dispatch note descend from the unit's billing software to the buyer's phone, and see what each layer adds or checks.
Each layer is something the unit sets up once. The template is approved before the season, the Busy link is switched on once, and the consent records build up as buyers agree. After that, every dispatch note costs ₹0.19 to an Indian number and goes out without anyone typing it.
The bottom layer is where the conversation can start again. A buyer who replies about an unloading time opens the 24-hour service window, and the answers are service replies at ₹0.145.

Questions Krishnagiri businesses ask
- Growers bring mangoes to our Krishnagiri pulp unit in season and ask the day's rate. Can we send the rate to all of them every morning?
- Only to growers who agreed to receive it. A rate sent unasked is a marketing template at ₹0.94, approved in Tamil or Telugu, for growers whose opt-in is recorded. A grower who writes first gets the rate as a reply at ₹0.145, with no template.
- Our Krishnagiri unit ships drums of mango pulp to buyers in other states. Can the dispatch note carry the invoice from Busy?
- Yes. InfiQ's native Busy integration sends invoices and automatic payment reminders on WhatsApp with no integration fee. The dispatch note itself is a utility template at ₹0.19, with the invoice PDF in its header and the lorry number as a variable.
- A buyer in the UK asks our Krishnagiri granite yard for photos of Paradise granite slabs. What do the replies to a UK number cost?
- Meta charges by the recipient's country code, so replies to a +44 number are charged at InfiQ's published rate for the United Kingdom, not the India rate; the pricing page lists it in rupees. Within 24 hours of the buyer's message, photos need no template.
- Customers from across the Karnataka border write to our Krishnagiri shop in Kannada. Can our templates be in Kannada?
- Yes. Kannada (kn) is a Meta template language, as are Tamil (ta) and Telugu (te), so you can approve an order-ready note in each under one template name. Replies inside the 24-hour window need no template and can be in any language.
- Our transport company sits where four national highways meet at Krishnagiri. Can lorry owners get loading-slot confirmations automatically?
- Yes. Your booking software can call InfiQ's API to send a loading-slot confirmation as a utility template at ₹0.19, with the slot time, the depot and the load as variables. Signed webhooks report each delivery back to your system.
- Visitors ask our Krishnagiri cab service about trips to the Krishnagiri dam park and Hokenakkal falls. Is our reply with fares marketing?
- No. The visitor asked, so fares, timings and routes are service replies at ₹0.145 each for 24 hours from the visitor's last message. If they book, the pickup details the evening before are a utility template at ₹0.19.
