How do I use Message Templates for WhatsApp?
To initiate conversations with users or to respond to user-initiated messages that fall outside of the 24-hour rule, you can use a Message Template. You can also use Message Templates similar to a Saved Reply when responding to messages within the 24-hour rule.
Sprout comes equipped with 10 pre-made message templates for you to use in six different languages. You can also create your own Message Templates in WhatsApp Business Manager and access those templates in Sprout.
Note: Sprout only supports text-based Message Templates. Media-based templates and interactive templates aren’t supported.
