AI Message Templates
Generate complete WhatsApp message templates with AI — directly in the template editor.
Overview
LaunchStore includes an AI message generator inside the WhatsApp template builder. Instead of writing a message from scratch, you describe what you want and the AI produces a ready-to-edit draft that follows Meta's template format requirements.
How to Generate a Template
- Go to Marketing → WhatsApp → Templates
- Click New Template
- Enter a template name and choose a category (Marketing, Utility, Authentication)
- In the Message Body field, click Generate with AI
- Choose a tone:
- Promotional — sale announcements, new arrivals, limited-time offers
- Re-engagement — win-back messages for inactive customers
- Transactional — order updates, shipping notifications, confirmations
- Add optional context (e.g. "Summer sale, 20% off all orders, ends Sunday")
- Click Generate — a complete message body appears in the field
- Review and edit the draft, then click Submit for Approval
Variable Placeholders
AI-generated templates use standard WhatsApp variable placeholders:
| Placeholder | Filled with |
|---|---|
{{1}} or {{name}} | Customer's first name |
{{2}} or {{product}} | Product name |
{{3}} or {{discount}} | Discount code or amount |
{{4}} or {{link}} | Checkout or product link |
LaunchStore fills these automatically when a template is used in a broadcast or automation.
Variable names in double curly braces must follow Meta's format exactly. The AI generator uses the correct format, but double-check if you edit the placeholders manually.
Meta Approval
After submitting, Meta reviews the template — typically within a few minutes to a few hours. The template status in your dashboard updates automatically:
- Pending — submitted, awaiting review
- Approved — ready to use in broadcasts and flows
- Rejected — review Meta's rejection reason and edit the content
If Meta rejects an AI-generated template, the rejection reason usually points to specific language. Edit that section and resubmit — you do not need to regenerate the whole template.
