For Ratangarh's woodwork units in a district whose ODOP product is wood, the shops of its cross-shaped bazaar, the transporters on NH 11 and the travel desks at its junction: how one carved-wood order moves from a buyer's question to delivery on WhatsApp, which message each step is, and what it costs in rupees.

One carved-wood order from Ratangarh, message by message
A buyer in Delhi asks a Ratangarh woodwork unit about a carved door. Follow the order across the grid to see which messages are replies, which are templates, and which need the buyer's yes first.
Most of the path is cheap and simple. While the buyer is asking, every photo and price is a service reply at ₹0.145; once the order exists, its confirmation and dispatch are utility templates at ₹0.19, approved once and reused for every order.
The one branch to treat with care is the catalogue of new designs. It is a marketing template at ₹0.94, and it goes only to a buyer who has said yes to hearing about them, with that yes recorded.

Questions Ratangarh businesses ask
Question: A buyer in Jaipur asks our Ratangarh woodwork unit for photos of a carved jharokha. Is sending the photos a marketing message?
Answer: No. The buyer asked, so the photos, the sizes and the rate are service replies at ₹0.145 each for 24 hours from the buyer's last message, with no template. A message about new designs sent later, unasked, would be marketing and needs the buyer's opt-in.
Question: Our Ratangarh transport company runs lorries on NH 11 to Jaipur and Agra. Can consignees get loading and arrival notes automatically?
Answer: Yes. Your booking software can call InfiQ's API to send a utility template at ₹0.19 when a lorry is loaded and again when it arrives, with the lorry number and expected time as variables. Signed webhooks tell your system when each note is delivered.
Question: Families from Ratangarh who live in Kolkata ask our travel desk about berths on the direct train home. Can we confirm the booking on WhatsApp?
Answer: Yes. While the family is asking, fares and berth options are replies at ₹0.145. Once they book, the confirmation with the train, coach and berth is a utility template at ₹0.19. A Kolkata family on an Indian number costs the India rate.
Question: Visitors ask our guesthouse near the Ghantaghar about seeing Ratangarh's frescoed havelis, often late at night. Can a menu answer them?
Answer: Yes. An InfiQ Flows menu can answer timings, routes and room questions automatically and pass bookings to staff in the morning. Each automatic answer to a visitor who wrote first is a service reply at ₹0.145, inside the 24-hour window.
Question: Our Ratangarh clinic sees families who come home from Kolkata and Mumbai for treatment. Can appointment reminders reach their numbers in Hindi?
Answer: Yes. A reminder about an appointment the patient booked is a utility template at ₹0.19, approved in Hindi (hi) and English (en_IN) if you want both. Indian numbers in Kolkata or Mumbai cost the India rate. Keep medical details out of the template and send only the date, time and doctor.
Question: Shopkeepers in Ratangarh's cross-shaped bazaar talk to customers in Bagri. Can our templates be in Bagri?
Answer: No. Bagri is not one of Meta's template languages, so templates go in Hindi or English. Replies are not templates, so inside the 24-hour window your staff can answer customers in Bagri, Marwari or whatever they write in.
