Can I use the same template in multiple WhatsApp accounts?
Can I use the same template in multiple WhatsApp accounts?
No. Each WhatsApp message template is tied to a specific WhatsApp Business Account (WABA). Templates are not shared across multiple accounts, even within the same Meta Business Manager.
đź”’ Why This Limitation Exists
- Templates are stored and reviewed per WABA ID
- Meta applies policies and rate limits based on the originating account
- This ensures auditability, localization, and compliance on a per-business basis
âś… What You Can Do Instead
If you need the same template on multiple accounts:
- Log in to each WABA separately via MyOperator or your BSP portal
- Recreate the template manually in each account
- Use the same name and content if allowed, or adjust slightly for uniqueness
🛠️ Tip: Use a Naming Convention
To make cross-account management easier, use naming patterns like:
order_confirm_storeAorder_confirm_storeB
This avoids confusion and ensures template traceability.
