Documents needed WhatsApp templates

Chasing documents one chat at a time slows every loan file and tax return. These templates list exactly what is pending for the customer’s own application or filing and where to upload it — and they never ask for card numbers, PINs, passwords or ID numbers, which WhatsApp’s policy does not allow.

Variables such as {{1}} are filled with each customer’s details when you send. Example values are shown in the preview. Writing your own? Check it before you submit.

When to send it

  • When a loan, insurance or account application is missing documents
  • At the start of ITR season, for clients whose filing you handle
  • When a document sent earlier is unclear, expired or incomplete
  • A few days before a filing or processing deadline

Tips for approval and replies

  • Name documents, not numbers. “Form 16 and salary slips” is fine; asking a customer to send their Aadhaar, PAN, card or bank account number breaks WhatsApp’s Business Policy and gets templates rejected.
  • Point to a secure upload page on your own website with a URL button, and accept PDFs in the chat only where your own data-protection obligations allow it.
  • Tie the message to the customer’s own file — the application, the loan or the assessment year — so the reviewer sees a request about something the customer started.
  • In wbm.link, a keyword auto-reply can send the full checklist when a client types “ITR” or “home loan”, and the pending list can go out as a broadcast to a CSV-imported label with each client’s missing documents in a custom field.

Category: Utility

Utility templates are about something the customer already did, carry nothing promotional, and cost far less per message than marketing. Add an offer and Meta bills it as marketing. See what it costs · More for finance & insurance: WhatsApp for finance & insurance

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Something else on your mind? Ask us.

Can I ask customers to send documents on WhatsApp?

You can ask for the documents their own application needs and offer a secure upload link. Do not ask for card numbers, PINs, passwords, OTPs or identity numbers in a message — WhatsApp’s Business Policy prohibits it — and follow your own regulatory rules for storing what customers send.

Is a document request a utility template?

Yes, when it is about the customer’s own application or filing. A message that also promotes a new loan or investment product is marketing.

Can the document list be different for each customer?

Yes. Put the pending documents in a variable, filled from a column in your contact list, so each client sees only what is missing from their own file.
