Templates that pass Meta the first time

Every business-initiated WhatsApp message needs an approved template. Cosmos Connect gives you a designer with live preview, variables, buttons and 11 languages — then submits it to Meta and shows you the approval status.

F04.1 · What it is

Templates, explained

A template is the pre-approved skeleton of a message — "Hi {{1}}, your appointment is on {{2}}" — that you can send to customers outside the 24-hour reply window. Order updates, reminders, offers and confirmations all run on templates.

The designer shows the message exactly as a customer will see it, with header, body, footer and buttons, and flags common rejection causes before you submit. Approved templates become available across broadcasts, flows, bookings and the Shopify connector.

Without it
  • Templates rejected by Meta with vague reasons
  • Writing variables and buttons in raw formats
  • No way to see how a message looks before it's live
With Cosmos Connect
  • Guided designer with header, body, footer, variables and buttons
  • Live phone preview while you type
  • Submit to Meta and track approval status in one place
F04.2 · How it works

Set up in four steps

01

Choose a category

Utility for updates and reminders, marketing for offers — the right category speeds approval.

02

Write with variables

Add {{name}}, dates, order numbers — sample values keep the preview realistic.

03

Add buttons

Quick reply (can start a bot flow on tap), website link or call number — previewed live.

04

Submit & track

One click sends it to Meta; approval status updates on the template list.

F04.3 · Where it earns its keep

Real problems it solves

Clinics

Appointment reminders

Confirm-or-reschedule reminders cut no-shows without a receptionist calling every patient.

Salons

Service follow-ups

A thank-you with a rebook button two weeks after a haircut brings clients back on time.

Retail & D2C

Order updates

Order placed, shipped and delivered templates power the Shopify connector.

What's included

F04.5 · Questions
How long does Meta take to approve a template?

Many templates are reviewed within minutes to a few hours; some take longer. The designer shows the current status so you're not guessing.

Can I write templates in Hindi?

Yes. Templates can be created in 11 languages, including Hindi and English.

Do I need templates to reply to customers?

No. When a customer messages you, you can reply freely within 24 hours. Templates are needed when you start the conversation or reply after that window.
