How can I ask Whatsapp to review our template category?
Here’s how to request a review if your approved template was marked as Marketing, but you believe it should be classified as Utility per WhatsApp’s guidelines.
- Open WhatsApp Manager
- Head to your Meta Business Settings.
- Select WhatsApp Manager from your dashboard.
- In the menu on the left, click “Message Templates” to view your templates.
- Navigate to Category Review
- Go to the Business Support Home page.
- Choose “Template Category Updates.
- Request a Category Review
- Find the template you’d like reviewed.
- Click the template name to open its details.
- Select “Request Review.”
Meta will reassess your template following their latest documentation and category standards. - You can monitor the appeal status in Business Support Home, under these labels:
- In Review: Your request is being processed.
- Reversed: Your appeal was successful, and the category was updated.
- Unchanged: No changes were made after review.
- Important to Remember: Category updates apply only to approved templates that may have been miscategorized. Meta might reclassify templates automatically at any time if they don’t meet current category standards, even after approval.
