Creating a Template
CREATING A TEMPLATE
Start by Clicking "New Template Message"
When you click on “New Template Message,” a drawer will slide open from the right side of the screen.
Fill in the Details
- First, enter a name for your template in the “Template Name” field.
- Next, for “Template Category”, you’ll get to choose a category from a drop-down menu.
- After that, pick the “Template Type” from another drop-down menu.
Choose Your Language
Select the language you want your template to be in, and then move on to the next step!
Add the Message Details
Now it's time to add in all the details you'd like to include in your message. This is where the magic happens! You’ll be able to see a preview of your message, which you can tweak if needed.
Header: You can start by adding a header (this is optional). The header could be a text, image, video, document, or even a location! Just enable the toggle to choose an option from the drop-down menu.
After selecting an option, upload the relevant file in the correct format.
Craft Your Message
Now, let's get to the Body section. This is where you’ll type out the main message you want to send.
Want to make your message personal? Click on “ADD VARIABLE”. This is a super handy tool that lets you customize the message before sending it.
For example, if you want to greet someone by their name, you can add the “Name” variable, and the message will automatically update for each recipient!
Submit for META Approval
Once you’ve finished creating your template, the final step is to submit it for approval by META.
As soon as you submit, you’ll see the template’s status right above it. The status will say “SUBMITTED” until META gives their approval.
- Once META approves your template, the status will change to “APPROVED”.
And that’s it! 🎉 Your template is now ready to be broadcasted to multiple people all at once!
