Templates

Create templates, understand statuses, and use variables.

Template types

Calypso supports template types such as:

  • campaign: used for campaign sends
  • re-contact: used for follow-ups / re-engagement
  • widget: used for widget messages (web widget welcome message)

Statuses

Templates move through statuses such as:

  • processing
  • pending
  • approved
  • rejected

Only approved templates can be used in the WhatsApp Actions “send-to-contact” flow.

Variables

Templates can contain variables like:

  • {{name}}
  • {{appointment_date}}

When you send a template, you must provide values for any variables. Calypso detects the variables used in the template and will show them in the UI (Actions modal) so you can fill them in.
