Tips for approval and performance
- 1
Send it 30–60 minutes before class; a second nudge at start time helps late joiners.
- 2
Use a dynamic URL button so each student gets a personal join link that tracks attendance.
- 3
Route 'I can't attend' replies to a recording-share flow instead of a human agent.

Why this is a Utility template
Updates about a transaction or account the customer already has with you: orders, payments, appointments, bookings. Must contain no promotional content, or Meta will re-categorise it as Marketing.
Typical utility use cases: Order and shipping updates, payment receipts, reminders.
Meta can re-categorise a template during review if the content does not match. Learn how categories work in our guide to WhatsApp template messages and how each category is billed in WhatsApp conversation pricing.
