WhatsApp message templates for electricians

Electricians tend to run on five to six templates: four utility messages for slot confirmation, arrival notices, quote follow-up and completion notes, one marketing template for safety inspection reminders, and one optional payment nudge. Confirmations and arrival alerts are utility because the customer already booked the work.

Electrical jobs run on tight slots and quick decisions about access and parts. WhatsApp keeps the slot details, the photos of the fault and the final certificate in one thread the customer can find again.

How the category changes what you pay

  • Every template is submitted under one category, and Meta assigns the final one in review. A utility template that reads like a promotion can be reclassified as marketing, which changes both the rate and the opt-in requirement.
  • Since 1 October 2026, service messages are charged per delivered message after the first 1,000 free service messages per business phone number per month. The allowance does not roll over and there are no volume tiers.
  • Inbound messages are free, and a customer-initiated message opens the 24-hour customer service window. Anything you start outside that window needs an approved template.
