Twilio Messaging DocumentationMessaging

Description

description page anchor

Twilio detected that this WhatsApp message was sent using the legacy WhatsApp templates system. This system is end-of-life. Send WhatsApp templates with the Content Template Builder or the Content API, and use ContentSid and Content Variables when you send the message.

Possible causes

possible-causes page anchor
  • You sent a WhatsApp template with the legacy WhatsApp Templates product instead of a Content Template.
  • You used the body field to match or send a template that now must be sent with ContentSid and Content Variables.
  • Create and manage the template in the Content Template Builder or the Content API.
  • Send the template with ContentSid and Content Variables instead of the legacy body-based template flow.
  • If you need to change an existing template, duplicate it in the Content Template Builder, update the copy, and submit it again for WhatsApp approval if required.
