[Configure: Chat Flow] Message templates

A message template is one of the multi-utility feature on the Morph.ai platform that not only makes your work easy by helping you to create a message block and save it as a template that can be used in any conversation, but also used for raising request with WhatsApp for post session approvals.

You can create a message template in Chat Flow > Message Templates tab by clicking on the 'Create message template' button. 

For making the conversations more personalised, the platform provides you with the functionality to use properties (saved data values) inside a text.

You can simple type two open curly brackets to get a suggested list of properties available to be used. You can search your desired property and use the same in the text. 

Platform provides you option to create the following  types of message templates 

1. Facebook/WhatsApp Session Message - These messages be sent to the users within 24 hours of last interaction with the user. There are no restrictions on message type for such templates. These can be used directly in any of the conversation. 'Send Message' block provides you an option to choose a message template or create a new message.
