WABA Templates
A WABA template is an approved WhatsApp Business message template you can send as a first outbound message
A WABA template is an approved WhatsApp Business (WABA) message template for your company.
WhatsApp requires templates when you write first to a client outside the free-form messaging window. Each template has a name, body text, optional header, and placeholders you fill with substitutions when you send.
List templates here, then pass waba_id (and substitutions when needed) in Write first message.
