How to Run WhatsApp Template Campaigns
A practical checklist for Meta-approved WhatsApp templates — from approval to sending a campaign without burning your quality rating.
Template campaigns let you message customers outside the open session window — for launches, reminders, and updates — as long as Meta has approved the template.
Step checklist
- Create the template in Meta — clear name, category, language, and sample variables
- Wait for approval — marketing templates get more scrutiny than utility
- Import / select in KyaApp — attach the template to a campaign
- Segment contacts carefully — only message people who opted in
- Send a small test — verify variables and landing links
- Launch and monitor — watch delivery, reads, and quality signals
Best practices
- Prefer utility templates for transactional updates
- Keep marketing copy short; one clear CTA
- Avoid blasting cold lists — hurts quality rating
- Localize language for your audience (EN / regional as approved)
What KyaApp supports today
- Template-based bulk campaigns
- Contacts and analytics in the dashboard
- Dual-channel inbox for replies that come back
Advanced drips and A/B sequences are roadmap — start with well-targeted one-shot templates.
FAQ
Why was my template rejected?
Usually category mismatch, unclear samples, or policy issues. Fix and resubmit in Meta Business Manager.
Can I send without a template?
Only inside the customer service window after they message you.
