Is there a limit on how many templates I can create?

Hey,

Just wanted to check is there any limit to how many message templates we can create in one WhatsApp Business API account?

Hello,

We’ve created quite a few templates in our account I don’t think there’s any strict limit. We’ve easily gone over 50 without issues

We were just worried that if we create too many, it might slow things down or cause problems.

We’re planning to create different templates for support, reminders, and a few campaigns.

No worries at all creating more templates won’t slow anything down or affect performance.

It’s totally fine to create separate templates for different things like support, reminders, and campaigns. In fact, it’s a good idea to keep them organized like that it makes tracking and managing them much easier later.

Just try to use clear template names so your team doesn’t get confused when selecting one.

One more thing can I reuse the same template for different things? Like using the same one for order confirmation and booking confirmation?

newdata

Yes, you can reuse a template for different use cases as long as the message still makes sense and feels relevant to the customer.

Just be careful if the message becomes too general or unclear, it might confuse customers or get reported.
So try to keep it clear, and create a separate template if the message is too different.

Got it. So if I need to change something in an approved template later, can I just edit it?

newdata

No, once a template is submitted (whether approved or rejected), you can’t edit it.

If you need to change even a small word, you’ll have to create a new template with the updated content.
