Server status: Send message
WhatsApp limits the content of message texts with which you can start a conversation with a customer or continue a conversation 24 hours after the last message of the customer. This message must be a pre-approved template. There is a charge for sending a template. If the client has answered you, you can communicate with him for free within 24 hours from the moment of receiving the answer. Read more.
