Create an Authentication WhatsApp template

You can create a WhatsApp template with Authentication as category, if you want to send messages such as OTP through WhatsApp.

You can send an authentication code in 3 different ways:

  1. Zero tap auto-fill (Use it if you are sending OTP to mobile apps)
    • By selecting zero-tap, It’s your responsibility to ensure that your customers expect that the code will be automatically filled in on their behalf when they choose to receive the zero-tap code through WhatsApp.
  2. One tap auto-fill (Use it if you are sending OTP to mobile apps and mobile browser)
  3. Copy code
