Can my WhatsApp ordering bot send a sticker, contact card or location?
Updated 13 October 2026
Yes, within 24 hours of the customer's last message. Free-form replies can be text, image, sticker, location, contacts and more. After the window, only approved templates.
- Formats: text, image, audio, video, document, sticker, location, contacts, address and reaction.
- Interactive: reply buttons, lists, CTA URL buttons, location requests, call buttons and Flows.
- No approval: these are service messages. They are free-form and need no pre-approval.
- 24-hour timer: it starts when the customer messages or calls and resets if they do again. When it closes, send only pre-approved templates.
Skip building each reply by hand
Menuthere's WhatsApp ordering replies from your own number with an Order Now button and sends automatic order updates, so you do not build each reply yourself.
