From a uranium approval to a first week on WhatsApp
Three dates from the town's recent past and the district's ODOP list, then the first week of an illustrative Pulivendla hostel on the official API. Scrub along the line.
The town's own dates explain who writes to a Pulivendla business today: students and families, contractors' staff, and travellers on the Kadapa road. The week after them shows what a first business on the API actually does, in order.
Replies come first because they need no approval. Templates follow, and offers wait until someone has said yes to them. The 24-hour service window explains what a reply allows.

Pulivendla in seven lines
From the YSR Kadapa district administration, the engineering college's site and Invest India's ODOP list; the town's municipal history, road and the uranium plant are general background from Wikipedia.
The district administration calls YSR Kadapa the heart of the Rayalaseema, centrally placed among the region's districts, and lists Telugu as its language.[1]
Its revenue-division page lists Pulivendula with Kadapa, Jammalamadugu, Badvel and Rajampet, each with its own Revenue Divisional Officer.[2]
Pulivendla became a third-grade municipality in 2008, having been a nagar panchayat.[4]
A four-lane road connects the town to Kadapa, two-lane roads serve its villages, and buses run from the Dr. YSR bus terminal.[4]
JNTUA College of Engineering (Autonomous) Pulivendula, on Muddanur Road, lists civil, electrical and electronics, mechanical, electronics and communication, and computer science departments.[3]
The town's schools teach in English or Telugu, and Loyola Degree College offers higher education; about 15 km south, the Uranium Corporation of India runs a mine and processing plant at Tummalapalle.[4]
Invest India's ODOP list names Vonipenta brass, Madhavaram sarees, Proddatur raw (kora) silk shirting and barytes for YSR Kadapa.[5]

Telugu and English, as the town's schools teach
The district lists Telugu as its language and the schools teach in English or Telugu; both are Meta template languages.
Each language is a separate template under one name, approved by Meta on its own. Replies need no template, so staff answer in the language a customer writes in; InfiQ's own support works in English and Hindi.

Questions Pulivendla businesses ask
- First-year students at the JNTUA engineering college on Muddanur Road message our Pulivendla hostel about rooms. Can the warden and the accounts desk share one number?
- Yes. InfiQ's shared inbox lets several staff answer one WhatsApp number, with notes and transfers. A student who writes opens a 24-hour window, so the room answers, photos and fee questions are replies at ₹0.145 each, with no template.
- Our English-medium school in Pulivendla sends fee receipts and exam timetables. Can parents get them in Telugu as well?
- Yes. A fee receipt or timetable note is a utility template at ₹0.19. Submit it in English (India) and in Telugu under the same template name; Meta approves each version on its own, and each parent gets the one they chose.
- We run buses from Pulivendla to Kadapa on the four-lane road. Can passengers who booked get a reminder the evening before?
- Yes. A reminder about a seat the passenger booked is a utility template at ₹0.19, with the departure time, the seat and the bus number as variables. A passenger who replies to change the time opens a window for replies at ₹0.145.
- We supply a contractor at the Tummalapalle uranium plant south of Pulivendla. Can the delivery note and invoice go on WhatsApp together?
- Yes. A delivery note for an order the contractor placed is a utility template at ₹0.19, with the invoice PDF as its header and the vehicle number and quantities as variables. The contractor's office replies, and your answers are service messages.
- Our Pulivendla shop sells Madhavaram sarees and Proddatur kora silk from the district's ODOP list. Can we tell last season's buyers about new arrivals?
- Only buyers who agreed to hear about new stock. A new-arrival message is a marketing template at ₹0.94, sent to customers whose opt-in is recorded with its source and date. Order and dispatch notes for a saree someone bought are utility.
- The municipality and the engineering college write Pulivendula, but many customers type Pulivendla. Which spelling should our templates use?
- Whichever your customers recognise. A town name in a template is ordinary text, so you can write Pulivendula in the English version and the Telugu spelling in the Telugu version. Keep the business's display name exactly as Meta approved it.
