WhatsApp template: your event proposal is ready
When the planner has priced the brief.
A utility template, sent when the planner has priced the brief. Usually sent outside the 24-hour window, so it is charged: ₹0.115 per message in India, before GST.

Hi Ananya, your proposal MG-402 for the wedding on 14 February is ready: planning, decor and photography, ₹9,80,000 all-in for 350 guests. Deck attached. Valid until 20 October. Reply YES to hold the date with an advance, or ask us anything here.
When to send it, and what gets it rejected
The number in the text; the deck is for the family. 'Hold the date with an advance' is the honest line — a date is held when the advance lands, after a person has confirmed it, not when the client says yes.
Submitting it to Meta
Create it in WhatsApp Manager (or through your tool) with the category Utility, paste the body with the {{n}} variables, and give each variable a sample value from the example above — Meta’s review reads the samples. Approval usually takes minutes to a few hours. If it comes back re-categorised as marketing, a line in the body reads as promotional; remove it rather than argue.
What it costs to send
In India, Meta charges ₹0.115 per delivered message for a utility template, plus 18% GST, when it is sent outside the customer’s 24-hour window. Inside the window it has been charged at the same rate since 1 October 2026. The pricing guide has the full rate card; Linkubit adds nothing to it.
Send it without typing it
In Linkubit this template is a step the assistant sends on its own when the moment arrives — the enquiry lands, the visit is booked, the shipment moves — with the variables filled from the record. Start free and connect your number.
Questions about this template
Is "Proposal ready" a utility or a marketing template?
Utility. It is about the customer's own transaction, so it needs no separate opt-in, and it is charged at the utility rate inside and outside the 24-hour window since 1 October 2026.
What does it cost to send "Proposal ready" in India?
₹0.115 per delivered message before 18% GST, on Meta's published rate as read on 18 September 2026. It is usually sent outside the window, so it is charged from the first message. Meta bills your own account; nothing is added.
Can I change the wording of "Proposal ready"?
Yes. Keep the variables in order and none at the start or end of the body, keep the category honest — no offer, discount or "limited time" line in a utility message — and resubmit; the previous version keeps working until the new one is approved. The template checker tests a draft before you submit it.
