Utility: Updates about an order or account that a customer has already created. Examples: order confirmations, account updates, receipts, appointment reminders, and billing.

Quick Reply: Define buttons that users can tap to respond. Text only, cannot include emoji.

You will only be able to create a maximum of 3 buttons for Quick Reply and 2 buttons for Call to Action.
Customize your message by using a Call to Action button that links to a dynamic URL.
Language: The main language of your template
Message: The content that you want to send.
For variables, use double curly braces to indicate where you plan to use dynamic content.
For example, to send “Hello Angel, welcome to SleekFlow. I am Johnny, the Customer Success Specialist"
The template would be: Hello {{1}}, welcome to SleekFlow. I am {{2}}, the Customer Success Specialist.
When the template is approved, you can insert any variables or content for {{1}} and {{2}}, which you can edit when sending the template.
