The questions people ask most
These six come up more than any others: the 24-hour reply window, why Meta rejects a template, inviting your team, your click-to-chat link, what it all costs, and what to do when a message says Not delivered. Each answer is shown in full here, and each has its own page too.
What is the 24-hour reply window?
For 24 hours after a customer’s last message you can reply with anything — text, photos, documents. After that WhatsApp only delivers a template Meta has approved, and the 24 hours start again the moment the customer writes back.
Why was my template rejected, and what now?
Meta’s reason is on the template, under “Why Meta rejected it”. The usual causes are vague sample values, a message that starts or ends with a blank or has two blanks side by side, and promotional wording filed as Utility. Create a corrected template and submit that; Re-submit for review asks Meta to look at the same one again.
How do I invite someone?
Open Team from the menu behind your initials, top right, press Invite someone, enter their work email and choose a role. They get an email with a link to join and set their own password.
What is my click-to-chat link and where do I put it?
A link that opens a WhatsApp chat with your business. Copy it from the ⋯ menu above your conversation list (Share link) or open it from Numbers, in the menu behind your initials, top right, then put it on your website, in your emails and receipts, and on a QR code at your counter or front desk.
What does GoPromoteNow cost?
Every workspace starts with a 14-day free trial, with everything switched on and no payment details needed. Then the owner — or a member whose role includes billing — chooses a plan on Plan & billing, in the menu behind your initials. The plans: Basic, ₹499 a month or ₹7,449 a year; Professional, ₹1,499 a month or ₹14,999 a year. Prices exclude GST, and outside India they are in US dollars. Enterprise is coming soon. Nothing moves to a paid plan without the owner choosing it. Meta charges for WhatsApp messages at its own rates and bills them to your WhatsApp Business Account directly — they are not part of your GoPromoteNow plan; see Meta’s pricing page for current rates.
One of my messages says “Not delivered”. What now?
The reason is written under it in plain words, and Troubleshooting below explains each one. A photo or document that failed has to be attached again to resend it.
Every answer, by topic
The answers are grouped the way a new team meets the product: getting started, your number and Meta, the 24-hour rule and templates, sending and receiving, your team, notes and labels, automatic messages, the catalog, plans, privacy, and troubleshooting. Every link opens one answer on its own page.
