Whatsapp Business Message Types: 3 possible types: Utilty, Authentication and Marketing
Utility
Utility conversations are business-initiated conversations, often relating to a transaction. Think about purchase information, appointment confirmations but also notifications, and recurring billing statements to customers.
Authentication
In authentication conversations, security is key. With authentication templates, you can authenticate users with One Time Passwords at multiple touchpoints during the login or verification process, such as account registration, account recovery, and other situations where the customer’s identity needs confirmation.
Marketing
As the name suggests, marketing conversations are business-initiated conversations to market a product or service to customers. You can send your customers relevant offers, good deals, or information about product restocking.
Good-to-know: Any business-initiated conversation that does not qualify as an authentication or utility conversation, will fall under this category.
