WhatsApp notification templates

Modified on Thu, 8 Oct at 1:45 PM

WhatsApp notifications are sent automatically and follow a predefined template. Each action recorded on the platform triggers a message based on a specific template.

Because sending is automatic, messages cannot be customized. If the participant replies to the message on WhatsApp, the reply does not reach the platform.

Notification types

Participants see the notification types in Notification preferences. In the WhatsApp column, they choose which ones to receive. Some email communications are required, and each community can turn off certain types.
