Welcome / opt-in confirmation WhatsApp templates

A short confirmation right after someone opts in tells them what they signed up for and how to stop — which keeps block and report rates low later. These templates confirm the choice the customer made and name the updates to expect, with no welcome offer attached.

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

  • Right after a customer ticks the WhatsApp box on your website or form
  • When a customer agrees at the counter or on a call to get updates on WhatsApp
  • After a customer sends a keyword such as “START” to opt in
  • When you move customers from SMS updates to WhatsApp

Tips for approval and replies

  • Say what the customer will receive — order updates, account alerts, class notices — and how to stop. Both make the template clearly about the customer’s own choice.
  • Do not add a welcome discount or a first-order coupon. That turns the confirmation into a marketing template; send any offer separately to people who opted in to offers.
  • Send it only to people who actually opted in, and keep a record of when and where each person agreed — a date column in your contact list is enough.
  • wbm.link always leaves opted-out and blocked contacts out of broadcasts, so keep each contact’s opt-in status accurate and honour every request to stop.

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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Something else on your mind? Ask us.

Do I have to send an opt-in confirmation on WhatsApp?

WhatsApp requires the customer’s opt-in before you message them; it does not require a confirmation message. Sending one is good practice — it reminds the customer why they will hear from you and how to stop.

Is a welcome message a utility or marketing template?

A confirmation of the customer’s own opt-in, naming the updates they will get, fits utility. A welcome that promotes products, offers or a discount is marketing.

What should the opt-out instruction say?

Keep it simple: reply STOP, or tap a “Stop updates” button. Then honour it and keep that contact out of future broadcasts.
