Do I need Meta's approval to send B2B WhatsApp messages?

Yes. If you are using the official WhatsApp Business API (which is required for scalable B2B sales), you must submit your initial outbound message templates to Meta for approval. This ensures the content is professional and complies with their commerce policies.

Can I send cold outreach messages on WhatsApp in India?

Yes, but cautiously. While Meta allows "Marketing" templates, sending aggressive cold pitches to unverified lists will result in high "Block" rates from users, which will quickly get your API number banned. Always use a soft, value-driven approach and provide an easy way for the user to opt out.

What are WhatsApp template variables?

Variables are dynamic placeholders within your approved template, formatted as {{1}}, {{2}}, etc. When you send the message via automation software, these variables are replaced with specific CRM data, like the prospect's name or company, allowing you to personalize messages at scale.

How long should a B2B WhatsApp sales message be?

B2B WhatsApp messages should be incredibly concise—ideally under 50-60 words. B2B buyers skim messages on their phones between meetings. Get straight to the value proposition and end with a clear, single-click button response.
