WhatsApp & chat
Create WhatsApp message templates with a live preview
Write order updates, reminders and offers once, see exactly how they look on WhatsApp, and send them to Meta for approval.
The basics
Why WhatsApp needs templates
On the WhatsApp Business API, a message that starts a conversation, or one sent more than 24 hours after the customer's last message, must use a template that Meta has approved.
Templates have fixed text with blanks, such as the customer's name or an order number, and can carry a photo, buttons or a call button.
- Ready starters for order updates, booking reminders, payment reminders and offers
- Add a photo, quick-reply buttons, a link button or a call button
- Sample values show what a real message will look like

Template builder features
Everything below comes with BNM Pro.
Live WhatsApp preview
See the message as your customer will see it before you submit it.
Checks before you submit
BNM points out what Meta usually rejects, such as missing sample values.
Use them everywhere
Approved templates work in broadcasts, order updates and your bot.
What it does not do
- It needs a WhatsApp number linked to BNM.
- Meta decides on approval, and marketing templates can be rejected.
- Changing an approved template sends it back for approval.
Questions owners ask
How long does Meta take to approve a template?
Meta reviews each template itself; it is often quick, but BNM cannot promise a time.
Can I make templates in Tamil or Hindi?
Yes. Pick the template's language when you create it.
Do I need a computer?
No. The builder works in the BNM Business app on Android and on the desktop app.
Can I use one template for many customers?
Yes. The blanks are filled in for each customer, so one approved template works for everyone.
