Find a template
In Settings → Templates:
- Click a counter (All templates, Approved, Pending, Action required, Drafts) to filter by status.
- Search by template name or message…
- Filter by category and language.
Each card shows the name, category, language, a preview, and how many variables and buttons it has.
Actions on a template
| Action | What happens |
|---|---|
| View | Shows exactly what Meta approved — read-only, no review triggered. |
| Edit | Opens the template for changes. Saving resubmits it to Meta and its status returns to Pending until re-approved. Name and language can’t change. |
| Duplicate | Creates a copy you can edit and submit separately — use it for a new language or a variation. |
| Delete (bin icon) | Deletes the template from Meta and Vatli. Active broadcasts using it will fail on their next send. A template that was never submitted is deleted only in Vatli. |
Editing sends a template back to Meta for review. If it’s used by a running automation, sequence or scheduled broadcast, Duplicate it and change the copy instead, then switch over once the copy is approved.
