Create Approved WhatsApp Templates

WhatsApp doesn't let you send arbitrary messages at scale — every outbound template has to be approved first. On this page you'll build those templates (content, variables, and buttons), submit them for review, and reuse the approved versions across WhatsApp campaigns and automations.

Common Issues

IssueWhat to check
Template is not available in CampaignsConfirm it is approved and belongs to the selected sender
Variables failCheck variable names and example values
Template is rejectedEdit the content and resubmit

Most problems here come down to the sender or the approval. If no WhatsApp account appears when you create a template, ask your admin — the WhatsApp sender has to be connected at the workspace level first. Rejected templates aren't a support issue either; edit the content and resubmit.

If a template shows as approved but still doesn't appear when you build a campaign for that same sender, contact Brixi support with the template name, the sender, and a screenshot of its approval status.

Reporting Impact

Because approved templates are reused across sends, WhatsApp campaign reporting stays consistent — performance reflects the template itself rather than one-off copy.
