Zepic WhatsApp FAQ
Fix template rejections, complete Meta verification, request the blue tick, improve message delivery, and resolve common WhatsApp Business problems with Zepic.
Q1. Why was my WhatsApp template rejected?
Answer: Templates can be rejected for these reasons:
- Wrong or generic template name (use descriptive slugs like festival_event_invitation).
- Too many emojis/icons; keep usage minimal.
- Missing placeholders like {{1}}, {{2}} for dynamic data.
- Content is overly long or unclear; write concise, single-intent copy.
- Improper sample data (avoid “sample1”; use realistic names, numbers, and URLs).
- Embedding URLs/phone numbers in placeholders — use buttons (Call, Visit Website) instead.
- Multiple consecutive line breaks or excess whitespace.
- Requesting sensitive information (SSN, Aadhaar, PAN), which violates policy.
Q2. How long does WhatsApp template approval take?
Answer: Meta typically approves templates within up to 24 hours. Avoid submitting duplicates while waiting.
Q3. Why can I only send 250 messages after onboarding?
Answer: New numbers are limited to 250 messages/day. To increase your tier, complete Business Verification or use Zepic’s accelerated onboarding.
Business Verification – Quick Steps
- Go to Meta Business and select your Business Account.
- Open WhatsApp Accounts → your WABA account → click Start Verification.
- Upload valid documents (GST, COI) and ensure the business name and details exactly match your documents.
Required docs for accelerated onboarding: Legal business name (incl. LLC/Inc), website/social page, business address, and registration docs in PDF/JPG/PNG.
Q4. How do I get the WhatsApp Blue Tick (Official Business Account)?
Answer: After verification:
- Open WhatsApp Manager, select your phone number, then go to Profile.
- Click Submit request for Official Business Account (Blue Tick).
- Provide 5 credible media links that talk about your brand (e.g., app marketplaces, analyst reviews, press).
Meta grants the blue tick to authentic, notable brands at its discretion.
Q5. Why did my WhatsApp test message fail?
Answer: Meta’s rate limiting can block ad-hoc tests. Send a message from your personal WhatsApp to your business number first, then retry the test.
Q6. How can I improve WhatsApp message delivery?
Answer: Zepic’s Smart Retry automatically retries failed messages 3 times, every 24 hours. Additionally:
- Target only opted-in users; keep opt-out visible.
- Monitor template quality rating and fix poor-performing templates.
- Avoid sending too many promos in a short period.
- Warm up new numbers with smaller campaigns before scaling.
- Use clear, single-intent copy and relevant personalization.
Q7. Other common problems & fixes
- Template rejected repeatedly: Use Zenie AI or Template Library; ensure realistic samples and buttons for links/calls.
- Messages deliver late: Stagger sends; avoid peak hours; check rate limits.
- Low engagement: Personalize placeholders; keep one CTA; test different send times.
- Blue Tick rejected: Resubmit with reputable third‑party links (news, marketplaces, analyst sites).
- Account restricted/blocked: Review Meta policies; remove prohibited content; contact Zepic Support to appeal.
