WhatsApp Business API for Narmadapuram's hotels, tour desks and cab operators

Hoshangabad became Narmadapuram in February 2022, taking back the name the town had before a Malwa sultan built a fort here. The district's ODOP entry is not a crop or a craft but sightseeing.

For the hotels and homestays of Pachmarhi, the tour desks that run trips to Madai and the Tawa reservoir, and the cab operators who meet guests at Bhopal, Itarsi and Pipariya: which WhatsApp message a guest should get at each stage of a trip, in which language, and what it costs.

Narmadapuram in eight lines

From the Narmadapuram district administration's pages and Invest India's ODOP list.

The old name came from Sultan Hoshang Shah Ghori, the second Ghori king of Malwa, who built a small fort here in 1405; before that the town was called Narmadapur.[2]

The district's name changed from Hoshangabad to Narmadapuram with effect from 7 February 2022.[2]

The town sits on the south bank of the Narmada, which forms the district's northern boundary, and is its administrative centre; the Tawa joins the Narmada about 7 km upstream of Sethani Ghat.[1],[3]

The district's own figures give 5,408.23 sq km, 12,40,975 people and 965 villages, with Hindi as its language.[1]

Sethani Ghat, a 19th-century structure on the Narmada, is the town's own landmark; the district lists it as historic, scenic and religious.[5]

Pachmarhi, which the district calls Satpura ki Rani, is its hill station, about 110 km away by road through Pipariya; Madai and the Tawa reservoir near Itarsi are listed beside it.[5],[4]

Invest India's One District One Product list names sightseeing, a tourism entry, for the district under its former name, Hoshangabad.[6]

Itarsi, a tehsil 18 km away, is a major railway junction; Bhopal is about 70 km off, and its Raja Bhoj airport has daily flights to Delhi and Mumbai.[3],[4]

Which message does this guest get?

A Narmadapuram tour desk talks to the same family four times: when they ask, when they book, when they pay and when they are home again. Pick a stage and follow the branches.

Most of a tour desk's messages land in two branches. The questions before a booking are replies, because the guest wrote first. Everything about a confirmed booking is a utility template. Marketing is the smallest branch, and the only one that needs a recorded yes.

The 24-hour service window explains why the first branch needs no template.

Depth 0 of up to 3. Circles are questions, squares are outcomes.

All possible outcomes (5)
  • Reply freely

    Room photos, the tariff, a route map from Pipariya: any text, image or PDF, no template needed, each reply at the service rate.

    Path: “Asking about rooms or a Pachmarhi package” → “Yes, they wrote this morning”

  • Send a utility template

    An approved note about the booking they made: check-in time, the driver's name and car number for the station pickup, the day's Madai trip timing.

    Path: “Booked, arriving at Pipariya or Bhopal”

  • Send an authentication template

    A one-time passcode that confirms the guest's sign-in or payment on your booking page, charged at the authentication rate.

    Path: “Paying the advance on your booking page”

  • Send a marketing template

    An invitation back to Pachmarhi or a Sethani Ghat stay, only to guests who said yes to offers, with a way to stop.

    Path: “Home again after the trip” → “Yes, and the desk recorded it”

  • Do not send it yet

    Ask for consent at check-out or in the next conversation the guest starts. Offers to people who never agreed draw blocks and lower the number's quality rating.

    Path: “Home again after the trip” → “No, or nobody asked”

A simplified guide to Meta's categories for a tourism business. Meta decides each template's category when it approves it and can re-categorise one that does not fit.

Question 1: Where is this guest in their trip? 4 options.

Who in Narmadapuram district writes to visitors

Three businesses that follow from the district's own list of places to see.

Hotels and homestays in Pachmarhi

The hill station the district calls Satpura ki Rani draws families who ask about rooms, routes and the weather before they book.[5]

  • Room photos and tariffs in reply
  • Booking confirmation with check-in time
  • Return offers to guests who opted in

Cab and tour operators

Guests fly into Bhopal, about 70 km from Narmadapuram, or arrive by train at Itarsi junction or Pipariya, the station for Pachmarhi.[4],[3]

  • Driver name and car number before pickup
  • Delay notices when a train runs late
  • Fare and route replies

Trip desks for Madai, Tawa and Sethani Ghat

The district lists the Madai and Tawa reservoir area near Itarsi for adventure and scenery, and Sethani Ghat on the Narmada for its history and temples.[5]

  • Trip timing and meeting point
  • What to carry, sent on request
  • Photos of the day, shared in reply

Hindi first, English for visitors from further away

The district lists Hindi as its language, and most guests come from Hindi-speaking towns. Meta approves each template once per language, so a desk usually keeps two versions.

Inside the 24-hour window, staff can reply in whatever language the guest writes. InfiQ's own support works in English and Hindi.

    Approve the check-in, pickup and trip-timing templates in Hindi and English once, then reuse them for every booking in the season.

  • Consent records and opt-out enforcement

    Each contact's opt-in source and time are recorded, STOP replies are enforced at platform level (even against later imports), and the audit trail exports.

    Return offers go only to guests who agreed, with the date and place of each yes on record and STOP replies enforced.

  • InfiQ Flows chatbot builder

Questions Narmadapuram businesses ask

Families ask our Pachmarhi hotel about rooms weeks before they come. Do our tariff replies need an approved template?
Not while the family is talking to you. Once they write, for 24 hours your tariff, room photos and directions are ordinary replies at ₹0.145 each, and every new message from them restarts the window. Only a message you start, days later, needs a template.
Our cab service meets guests at Pipariya station for the drive to Pachmarhi. Can we send them the driver's name and car number?
Yes. A pickup note for a ride the guest has booked is a utility template at ₹0.19, with variables for the driver, the car number and the platform. Your booking sheet can send it through InfiQ's developer API, or a dispatcher can send it from the inbox.
Trains into Itarsi junction often run late, and our drivers wait. Can the guest tell us the new arrival time on WhatsApp?
Yes. When the guest writes with the new time, the window opens and your dispatcher can reply freely at ₹0.145, including a fresh driver if the first one has left. If the guest goes quiet and you need to reach them, start with the approved pickup template.
We want to invite past guests back to Pachmarhi for the Nagdwari Mela. Who can we send that invitation to?
Only guests who agreed to hear about offers from you. A trip invitation is a marketing template at ₹0.94 per delivered message. Guests who never said yes should be asked at check-out or the next time they write, and InfiQ keeps a record of each opt-in.
Our guest house near Sethani Ghat takes bookings from Bhopal and from families abroad. Does a guest on a foreign number cost more?
It can. Meta charges by the recipient's country code, so a guest on an Indian number costs the India rate wherever they are, and a foreign number is billed at that country's rate. InfiQ shows every country's rate in rupees on the pricing page before you send.
Our Madai and Tawa trip desk, the office in Narmadapuram and two drivers all talk to guests. Can we share one WhatsApp number?
Yes. The shared team inbox gives 10 users on Lite and 25 on Growth, with transfers, labels and private notes, so the office books the trip, the driver confirms the meeting point and nobody sends the guest two different times.
