Templates Overview
SMS Template
A template is a ready-to-use message format that contains business information. You can use templates to send OTP, Transactional (TXN), Transactional DND (TXND), M2M, and Marketing (MKT) messages to your customers on multiple occasions.
Templates Simplify Customer Communication
For example, a bank wants to send an SMS notification to a customer when the amount is deducted from the customer's account. Now, when a customer withdraws funds, an SMS notification is sent to them as an alert of this transaction. This type of transaction is common to most customers. Therefore, it makes sense for banks to create templates with standard content and parameter placeholders and replace them with relevant information.
