Testing WhatsApp Business Platform
Posted: Thu Feb 20, 2025 5:01 am
To create your first template, click Create Message Template to select a category, name your template, and choose which languages this message will be sent in. Click Continue to include samples, add header, body, and footer copy, and choose call-to-action or quick reply buttons to include. Then click Submit and it will be sent off for review. Once approved, you can work with your developers to finalize setup.
Now that you’ve got an account, an approved message template or two, and your devs have had a chance to get you all set up – it’s time to start testing.
Start by sending a message to your WhatsApp Business Platform number from a israel mobile database phone running a consumer WhatsApp account. Once you respond to this message, you kick off a 24-hour response window. During this time, you can send freeform messages including text, media, contacts, and locations. You can also test your message templates to ensure they work as expected.
And You’re Off to the Races
As long as your 24-hour window initiated correctly and your message templates worked as designed, you’re likely ready to kick off your conversational business efforts on WhatsApp Business Platform.
The market for conversational business is only going to keep growing. Leveraging the power of the WhatsApp Business Platform can empower you to tap into the power of messaging. If you’re still not ready to sign up, we’ve got in-depth developer documentation and a business help center to help answer your questions.
