Message templates

Every template is reviewed by Meta before it can be sent. Review usually finishes within an hour.

Connect a WhatsApp number first to create templates. Connect a number

Create a template

Create the message, add real variable samples, then send it to Meta for review.

Start from an example
Category
Header optional · one per template

You supply the latitude, longitude, name and address for each send — nothing is fixed in the template. Utility and marketing templates only.

No file selected
Body required
Sample values — Meta requires a real example for every variable
Footer optional · one line, 60 characters

Small grey text under the message — a shop name, a disclaimer, or how to opt out.

Marketing messages should say how to stop them. Dutavo acts on STOP on its own and confirms it back — the line tells people it works.

Buttons optional · max 2 website, 1 phone, 1 copy code

Up to 10 — a quick reply, a link, a phone number, or a code to copy.

Meta writes the message body for authentication templates. It is not editable here — only the security-recommendation sentence and the expiry footer change it.
OTP button
Meta reviews templates before you can send them.

    Your templates

    Meta owns the review. Editing sends a template back for approval, and only an approved, rejected or paused one can be edited at all. Deleting removes every language of that name and locks the name for 30 days.
