Message templates

Creating a WhatsApp message template

Outside the 24-hour window, a business may only send templates that Meta has approved.

Free plan: 1 WhatsApp number, 1 agent, 500 contacts. On Android and the web.

The steps

01

Write the template

Create the template in Nexus. A checker rejects format mistakes a machine can catch, such as variables or duplicate names.

02

Submit it to Meta

The template goes to Meta for review. Meta may approve, reject or pause it.

03

Read the status

Nexus shows the status and Meta’s reason. A rejected template can be changed and submitted again.

04

Use it when the window is closed

Once 24 hours have passed since the customer’s last message, the reply box switches to template choices.

Questions and answers

When may I reply to a customer? Within 24 hours of the customer's last message you can reply freely. After that, Meta's rules allow only message templates that Meta has approved.
Does Nexus use the official WhatsApp API? Yes. Nexus uses Meta's WhatsApp Business Platform (Cloud API), and your number connects through Meta's own Embedded Signup window. There is no lookalike WhatsApp Web or modified app.
Is there an extra fee per message? Nexus adds nothing to your messages. WhatsApp message fees are paid directly to Meta at Meta's official rates. You only pay for your Nexus plan.
Who can receive a broadcast? Only contacts who have given permission. Contacts without permission cannot be selected, and opt-outs are respected.

WhatsApp guides for business

Connect WhatsApp

Connect your business WhatsApp number to Nexus through Meta’s official window, then answer every chat from one inbox shared with your team.

Pay message fees at Meta

WhatsApp message fees are paid straight to Meta, not to Nexus. Here is how to attach a payment method so template messages can be sent.

Broadcast limits

Broadcast only to contacts who agreed, within Meta’s per-24-hour customer limit. Nexus shows what is left and holds back the queue.
