Template Best Practices
Keep it conversational
Keep it conversational
Write like a human, not a robot. Use natural language, contractions, and appropriate emojis. Avoid corporate jargon.
Include a clear CTA
Include a clear CTA
Every template should have a clear next step—reply, click, call, confirm, etc. Make it obvious what you want the recipient to do.
Respect character limits
Respect character limits
WhatsApp messages display best under 1,000 characters. For WABA templates, keep body text under 1,024 characters.
Test before deploying

Send templates to yourself or colleagues first to catch typos, broken variables, or awkward phrasing.
Update regularly
Update regularly
Review and refresh templates quarterly. Remove outdated ones and create new ones based on what’s converting.
