WhatsApp message templates for study-abroad consultants
A study-abroad consultancy needs five utility templates and one marketing template. Consultation confirmation, document checklist, application submitted, offer received and a visa-step reminder are utility because they track a case the student already opened; an intake-deadline nudge is marketing when it targets undecided leads.
An application is a long sequence of small steps, and students lose track of which one is next. Consultants lose hours answering "where is my file?" A status message at each milestone answers the question before it is asked and keeps the student moving toward the deadline.

- 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.
