Creating media templates

Media templates consist of the following blocks:

The header is optional and serves as the title or header of the template. It supports the following: 1. Text 2. Image 3. Document 4. Video

  • Body

The body should contain the most important text of the template. Only text is supported.

The header and body can contain variables. The order of the variables starts with the header and continues with the body.

For example, Right: Hello, {{1}}! - header This is company {{2}}. - body Wrong: Hello, {{1}}! - header This is company {{1}}. - body

  • Footer

The footer only supports text and can be used to provide less relevant information in a message template.

A button adds interactivity to templates. There are two basic types of buttons:

  1. QUICK_REPLY. It is used to get a quick response from the client. It is needed to build a bot depending on the client's answer. The maximum number of buttons - 3 on one template.

  2. CALL_TO_ACTION:

  • PHONE_NUMBER - a phone number in the button text, on pressing on which the call will be made.

  • URL - the text of the button will contain an inscription, for example: "View video". When you click on the button will be a link to the site/video, etc.

Maximum one template can contain one URL and one phone number.

Buttons can not contain any variables, new strings, emoticons or formatting characters, smilies.
