Questions about this workflow
Can any template be used immediately?
No. WhatsApp must approve a template before it can be used.
When is a template needed?
Templates are required for marketing messages and messages sent outside the 24-hour window.
Does the webhook itself provide alert details?
It should include the values you want in the message. Notis cannot infer absent readings or thresholds.
