Template-Based Messaging
WhatsAble intelligently selects the appropriate template based on the message content and attachment type.
Template messaging ensures your messages maintain consistent formatting and follow WhatsApp guidelines.
Rate Limits and Best Practices
Respect Rate Limits
WhatsAble enforces rate limits to ensure reliable message delivery. Standard accounts are limited to 50 messages per minute, while enterprise accounts have customizable limits.
Exceeding rate limits may result in temporary API access restrictions.
Implement Error Handling
Always implement proper error handling to manage failed message deliveries gracefully:
Optimize Media Size
Compress images and videos before sending to improve delivery speed and reliability:
- Resize images to appropriate dimensions for WhatsApp (1080px max width recommended)
- Compress videos to reduce file size while maintaining quality
- Use CDN-hosted media when possible rather than base64 encoding
