The outbound message is the one with which you start the conversation with your users. This message must be approved by the Facebook (Meta) team and can take up to 5 business days.

A WABA can support multiple outbound messages that can trigger different flows.

Features supported:

  • Buttons: max. 3 options, text only, 20 characters.

  • Variables: stored values of previous steps that can be used in the text of following messages.
    e.g. Your discount code is {{Truora2022}}.

  • Outbound parameters: send a personalized message.

    e.g. Hi {{name}}, How are you? > The {{name}} parameter will be replaced with “John” when send the outbound.

  • Outbound batch: send the same message to multiple users at the same time.
