Managing Message Templates with the WhatsApp Business Platform

[sumaiyakhatun27]

This tutorial assumes that you have a basic knowledge of Node.js and Express.js applications. Before moving forward, please complete the steps provided in the introductory section of the WhatsApp Business Platform documentation. If you’re a business solutions provider (BSP), follow Get Started for Business Solution Providers and ensure that your Meta app passes the review process.

Before proceeding with the tutorial, ensure that you have a WhatsApp Business ID and a phone number ID.

Additionally, BSPs require a system user token with the required permissions (whatsapp_business_management, whatsapp_business_messaging, and business_management).

If you don’t have Node.js and Express.js applications, you can use this application iran mobile database boilerplate built specifically for the tutorial.

Additionally, this tutorial will use several packages, including dotenv to store the token and requests to make HTTP requests with the API. We will also use Postman to test the API endpoints.

For further exploration, the complete code is available here.

Once you’ve set up the initial application and added the token with the proper permissions, you’re ready to start.
