On this guide you’ll learn what is a template, why do you need one and how you can create your own. Lets get into it! The first thing we need to do is go to our template list. Click on the button to create a new template Give your template a name, a category and select the language it will be written in. Add your desired Header, Body, Footer and Buttons Now provide the URL of the photo/video for the header if needed and do a bit of testing with your variables. Once you're happy click Submit.
Warning: The URL you add here IS NOT attached to the template, it’s only used for testing purposes, later when using this template you’ll need to provide the URL of the media again.
Your template will now be sent for approval, once it's ready to be used you'll se its status change from Pending to Approved.
Please bear in mind that Hilos doesn’t have any control over the approval process or its completion time, this is an internal WhatsApp process. and can take a while to complete. Usually it takes a few minutes for Meta to approve a template, but the official guideline is that it may take up to 2 business days.Make sure to create them ahead of time!
