Managing WhatsApp reservation message templates

Separate booking updates from campaigns, and check template approval, guest permissions and delivery status.

Booking updates are not marketing campaigns

A reservation confirmation relates to the service; promoting a new tasting menu is marketing. Template classification alone does not provide a lawful basis to send a message.

Prepare the message content

Make the venue, date, time, party size and any verified change or cancellation route clear. Distinguish “payment link sent” from “payment received” when a deposit is involved.

Verify before sending

Check the approved template and category, sending number and guest contact in the connected Meta WhatsApp Business Platform setup. For marketing, review consent, opt-outs and applicable communication-register requirements separately.

  • Is the template approved for this use?
  • Is the recipient and communication basis correct?
  • Are sending, delivery and read statuses treated separately?

If a message is not delivered

Check template approval, business-account status and provider error details. A sent event is not proof of delivery or reading.

Where Rezervem fits

Manager provides booking events; permission-based campaigns belong to Connect. See the communication and consent guide.
