Key features and functionalities of Transactional Messages

Order confirmations, delivery updates, appointment reminders and payment receipts are the messages people open every time. Meta prices them as utility messages, which cost a fraction of a marketing message.

Updates that fire from your own systems

Your store, ERP or booking system already knows when an order ships or an appointment moves. It sends the message itself, over the API, the moment it happens.

  • ₹0.1150 per utility message at Meta's rate, passed through at cost
  • Trigger on any event your systems can post to a webhook
  • Personalise with order numbers, names, amounts and dates
  • Delivery and read status comes back to your systems

Reminders that cut no shows and late payments

A reminder in WhatsApp gets read. The same reminder in email does not, which is why appointments get missed and invoices sit unpaid.

  • Schedule reminders relative to the appointment or due date
  • Let customers confirm, reschedule or pay from the message
  • Stop the sequence automatically once they act
  • Cheaper to send than a call and faster than an email
See WhatsApp automation

One time passcodes that arrive

Authentication messages deliver where SMS gets filtered, and the customer is already in WhatsApp when they need the code.

  • Authentication templates approved once, then sent at volume
  • Priced by Meta as authentication messages, passed through at cost
  • No SMS gateway to maintain alongside it
  • Codes land in the same app the customer is already using

A reply lands in the inbox, not in a void

Customers answer notifications. When they do, the reply reaches a person in the shared inbox, and everything you send for the next 24 hours is free.

  • Replies open a free 24 hour service window
  • The agent sees the order the message was about
  • Route replies by order type, region or language
  • No dead end no reply numbers

Benefits of using Transactional Messages

What changes once this is running, as opposed to what it does.

  • The cheapest message you can send Utility messages are a fraction of a marketing message, and they are the ones customers actually want.
  • Support stops answering "where is it" Status updates go out on their own, which removes the single most common reason people contact you.
  • Fewer no shows and late payments A reminder in WhatsApp gets read. The same reminder in email is why appointments get missed and invoices sit.
  • Replies reach a person Customers answer notifications, and those answers land in the shared inbox instead of a no reply void.

Why build Transactional Messages with Wbotz

Plenty of platforms will sell you this feature. These are the four things that differ once you have signed.

No markup on your message charges

Meta charges ₹0.8631 for a marketing message to India and that is what reaches your invoice. We earn from the subscription, not from your volume, so a heavy month raises your Meta bill and leaves ours where it was.

See the rate table

Official Meta partner, not a workaround

Your number runs on the official WhatsApp Business Platform, is eligible for the green tick, and is not at risk of the bans that come with unofficial bulk senders.

See the WhatsApp Business API

Someone sets it up with you

An onboarding manager handles business verification and the green tick application, then runs live training for the people who will actually use it. That is included, not an upsell.

Talk to onboarding

Included on Starter, Growth, Enterprise

Not a module you buy separately. The CRM, chatbot builder, broadcasts and shared inbox come with every plan, from ₹1,000 a month billed annually, with unlimited contacts and conversations throughout.
