Message Types

These are the top level messages that we can use

WhatsApp Template Message (HSM)

WhatsApp Template messages or highly structured messages use pre-approved message templates for outbound notifications like delivery alerts and appointment reminders. They can not be used for marketing. You must use a WhatsApp Template Message if more than 24 hours have elapsed since the user last responded to you. Any other type of message will fail.

All HSM message templates need to be manually approved by WhatsApp before you can use them

WhatsApp Session Message

WhatsApp Session messages are any messages sent and received in response to a user-initiated message to your application. A messaging session starts when a user sends your application a message, and lasts for 24 hours from the most recently received message.

You can wait for users to message your app, or you can send a Template Message to invite the user to respond.

Cut-off Control

Regular text messages or media messages (i.e. any Non-Template Messages) can only be delivered on the 24 hours after last time customer sent a message to your business.
Template Messages do not have this restriction and should be the preferred way of reaching a customer.
