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

Filled in
Hi Sanjana, your proposal AM-118 is ready: full-home interiors excluding civil work, ₹18,40,000, 14 weeks from start. Valid until 20 October. The presentation is attached. Reply here to discuss or YES to take it forward.
When to send it, and what gets it rejected
The price and what it excludes in the text — a client comparing three studios reads the message, not the deck. A validity date is what makes the follow-up a reminder rather than a nudge.
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

Questions about this template
Is "Design 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 "Design 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 "Design 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.
