WhatsApp Business API for Ladnun's guesthouses, taxis and shops for visitors

Ladnun, once called Chanderi Nagari, was a trade-route town of Marwar before it was a university town. Its visitors now arrive on early trains from Delhi, and most of them have a question before they arrive.

For the guesthouses, eateries, station taxis and shops that serve visitors to Jain Vishva Bharati and Ladnun's Jain temples, and the stone dealers of the district: how a visitor's first message can be routed by a menu to the right person and end in a pickup confirmation, and what each step costs in rupees.

One visitor's message to a Ladnun guesthouse, routed

A family coming to Ladnun on the early train from Delhi writes to a guesthouse near the university. Follow the message from a menu to the person who handles it, and on to the confirmation the evening before.

Everything left of the template is a reply: the visitor wrote, so the menu's answers and the staff's messages are charged at the service rate for 24 hours. The directions branch often ends there, answered by the menu alone.

The pickup note goes out the evening before, when the family has usually stopped writing. That is the one message here that must be an approved template, a utility one with the train, the time and the driver as variables.

Ladnun in eight lines

From Jain Vishva Bharati Institute's own pages, Invest India's ODOP list and IBEF's Rajasthan profile; the town's history and district are general background from Wikipedia.

Ladnun, earlier known as Chanderi Nagari, is a town, a municipality and a tehsil headquarters; it was in Nagaur district and is now in Didwana-Kuchaman district.[4]

Rao Maldeo Rathore of Jodhpur brought it under Rathore control in the 16th century; it stayed part of Jodhpur State until the mid-20th century, an administrative and trade centre on the Marwar trade route.[4]

The town's Digambara Bara Jain Temple carries an inscription dating to 1229.[4]

Jain Vishva Bharati Institute is in Ladnun, with departments of Jainology and Comparative Religion and Philosophy, Prakrit and Sanskrit, Nonviolence and Peace, Yoga and Science of Living, Education, English, Rajasthani Language and Literature and Acharya Tulsi Music, a college of naturopathy and yoga, and distance education.[1]

The institute lists two trains from Delhi: the Salasar Superfast, arriving at 13:43, and the Delhi–Jodhpur Superfast, arriving at 05:21.[2]

By its count Ladnun is 400 km by road from Delhi, 220 km from Jaipur, 235 km from Jodhpur, 190 km from Ajmer and 60 km from Ratangarh; the road from Jaipur runs through Sikar, Salasar and Sujangarh, and from Ajmer through Kuchaman City and Deedwana.[2]

Invest India's ODOP list (V33) names marble and granite products for Deedwana-Kuchaman district and pan methi and spice processing for Nagaur.[5]

IBEF lists Hindi, Marwari and English among Rajasthan's languages.[6]

From a Marwar trade stop to a university town

Ladnun has always been a place people came to: traders on the Marwar route once, visitors to its Jain temples and Jain Vishva Bharati now. The businesses that serve them, a guesthouse, an eatery, a taxi at the station, live on questions asked before the visitor arrives.

That suits WhatsApp's official API. A visitor's own message opens 24 hours in which every answer is a reply, so a small guesthouse can answer the same questions about rooms, trains and directions all day without a single template. The few templates it needs, the confirmation and the pickup note, are written once and reused.

Jain Vishva Bharati teaches Rajasthani Language and Literature, and IBEF lists Marwari among the state's languages. Neither is a Meta template language; Hindi and English are.

Each language is a separate template under the same name. Replies need no template, so a guesthouse answers in Rajasthani, Marwari or Hindi, whichever the visitor writes in. InfiQ's own support works in English and Hindi.

Questions Lādnūn businesses ask

Visitors to Jain Vishva Bharati reach Ladnun on the 05:21 superfast from Delhi. Can our guesthouse confirm the station pickup the night before?+
Yes. A pickup note for a stay the family booked is a utility template at ₹0.19, with the train, the head count and the driver's name as variables. It has to be a template because the family has usually stopped writing by the evening before.
Families visiting the Bara Jain Temple ask our Ladnun bhojanalaya about meal timings and menus. Is each answer charged?+
Each answer is a reply at ₹0.145, delivered inside the 24 hours that the family's message opened, with no template. A Flows menu can answer the timings automatically and pass larger group bookings to staff.
Our Ladnun bookshop stocks texts for the institute's Prakrit and Jainology courses. Can we tell distance-education students when their order is in?+
Yes. An order-ready or shipping note for books a student ordered is a utility template at ₹0.19. A note about new titles they did not order is marketing at ₹0.94, only for students who agreed to hear about them.
Our taxi runs from Ladnun to Salasar and Sujangarh on the road the institute's directions give from Jaipur. What does a booking confirmation cost?+
A confirmation of a trip the passenger booked is a utility template at ₹0.19 per delivered message, with the date, time and vehicle number as variables. Questions before the trip are replies at ₹0.145.
Our staff write to visitors in Rajasthani, which Jain Vishva Bharati teaches as a subject. Can our Ladnun templates be in Rajasthani?+
No. Rajasthani and Marwari are not on Meta's template list, so confirmations and pickup notes are templates in Hindi (hi) or English (en_IN). Your staff can still reply in Rajasthani whenever a visitor writes first, because replies are not templates.
Our guesthouse near the Jain Vishva Bharati campus already uses the WhatsApp Business app. Can we keep it?+
Yes. With WhatsApp Coexistence the app stays on the same number while the API sends the templates, within Meta's coexistence limits. Staff keep answering visitors on the phone, and the pickup notes go out from InfiQ.
