Channel-specific messages

WhatsApp-specific messages: templates and interactive messages

For WhatsApp conversations, when you want to start a new conversation with a customer or reply to a conversation after 24 hours of the last reply, you are required to send template messages.

A template message is a message format that you can send repeatedly. Variables, media, and special features such as interactive buttons can be included in the template to communicate with your clients more effectively. Apart from template messages, you can also craft messages with interactive lists and buttons that allow user to indicate preferences in the conversations. These message formats are all supported in SleekFlow.
