WhatsApp Business API for Manmad's onion trade and junction businesses
Four railway lines meet at Manmad, and onions bought from farmers here go on to Mumbai. A trader who answers the buyer who asked and a trader who sends the rate list to everyone are sending two different kinds of message.
For Manmad's onion wholesalers, the grape and raisin traders of Nashik district, the transporters around a junction where four rail lines meet, and the hotels and cabs that serve its passengers: when a rate is a reply and when it is a broadcast, Marathi templates, and what each message costs.
Market brief
Manmad in seven lines
From the Nashik district administration, Invest India's ODOP list, Meta's pricing documentation and, for the town's history and general profile, Wikipedia.
- 01
Nashik district counts 15,582 sq km and names Manmad among its big towns with Nashik, Malegaon and Igatpuri; it lists grapes, wine, onion and pomegranate as its specialities.[1]
- 02
Manmad is a town in Nandgaon tehsil; four railway lines converge on it, from Bhusawal, Daund and Pune, Secunderabad and Mumbai.[3]
- 03
Manmad Junction (MMR) is in the Central Railway's Bhusawal division; it opened in 1866, and from 1890 the Nizam's Guaranteed State Railway ran from Hyderabad to it.[4]
- 04
The town has Food Corporation of India grain warehouses, offices of Bharat Petroleum, Hindustan Petroleum and Indian Oil, a Central Railway engineering workshop that builds and maintains bridges, and a Sikh gurudwara.[3]

Meta's customer service window opens for 24 hours when a customer writes; outside it a business can send only templates, and marketing, utility and authentication templates are each priced separately.[5]

Plan prices are monthly, in rupees, excluding GST; yearly billing is two months free. Messages are charged per delivered message on top of the plan, at the rate for the recipient’s country. Full details: InfiQ pricing. A buyer in Mumbai and one in Hyderabad cost the same, because Meta charges by the recipient's country calling code. A grape buyer abroad is billed at that market's rate, shown in rupees. Invoices carry your Maharashtra GSTIN.

Questions Manmad businesses ask
- Wholesalers in Mumbai ask our Manmad onion firm for today's rate every morning. Do our answers need templates?
- No. Each buyer wrote first, so for 24 hours the rate, the lot photos and the lorry timing go back as replies at ₹0.145 each. Lorry details or a bill sent after that window has closed are utility templates at ₹0.19.
- Can our Manmad trading firm send the day's onion rate to every buyer on our list at once?
- Only to buyers who agreed to receive offers from you on WhatsApp. A rate list sent to invite orders is usually a marketing template at ₹0.94 per delivered message. Buyers who answer open a window, and your replies to them cost ₹0.145.
- Our transport company near Manmad Junction (MMR) sends grape buyers the lorry and driver details. Is that a utility message?
- Yes. Details of a consignment the buyer booked are a utility template at ₹0.19, with the lorry number, the driver's phone and the expected arrival as variables. Questions the buyer asks afterwards are replies at ₹0.145.
- Passengers changing trains at Manmad ask our hotel near the station for a room for a few hours. Do we need a template to reply?
- No. They wrote first, so rooms, rates and the walk from the station go back as replies at ₹0.145 within 24 hours. A booking confirmation sent after that window has closed is a utility template at ₹0.19.
- Our Manmad shop sells Paithani sarees, one of Nashik district's ODOP entries. Can we send new designs before the wedding season?
- Yes, to customers who agreed to receive offers. A new-design message is a marketing template at ₹0.94, best in Marathi with a photo in the header. Customers who reply to ask about a saree open a window, and your answers are replies.
- Some of our grape buyers in Manmad's trade read Hindi, not Marathi. Do we need two templates?
- Yes. Meta approves each language version of a template separately, so keep a Marathi (mr) and a Hindi (hi) version of each and send each buyer the one they read. Replies inside the 24-hour window need no template in any language.
