Messaggi utility vs marketing

Meta classifies WhatsApp templates as utility or marketing. Level uses both — and the category affects delivery rules.

Level message types

Utility (transactional)

Not subject to marketing frequency caps. Sent in response to customer actions.

FlowPurpose
Verifica CODConferma/cancel buttons on new order
COD reminderFollow-up for pending orders
Thank youAfter customer confirms
AnnullaAfter customer declines

Marketing

Subject to Meta marketing limits and opt-in requirements.

FlowPurpose
Carrello abbandonato (reminder, nudge, offer, final)Recover checkouts
Campaign broadcastSegment-based promotions

What this means for you

  • COD messages deliver reliably as utility messages — no marketing cap
  • Carrello abbandonato and campaigns may be deferred if Meta’s frequency limits are hit → Deferred sends
  • Marketing messages require proper opt-in → WhatsApp opt-in
