Template commands let you create, list, sync, and delete WhatsApp message templates directly from the terminal. Templates must be approved by Meta before they can be used to send messages.

​
zeplo templates list

List all message templates in the current project. By default, every template regardless of status is returned.

Options

​
Examples

​
zeplo templates create

Create a new message template using an interactive wizard. The wizard walks you through setting the template name, category, language, and body content.
The wizard will prompt you for:
  1. Template name - A unique identifier for the template (lowercase, underscores only).
  2. Category - The template category such as MARKETING, UTILITY, or AUTHENTICATION.
  3. Language - The language code (e.g., en, es, fr).
  4. Body text - The message body. Use {{1}}, {{2}}, etc. for variable placeholders.
  5. Header (optional) - Text, image, or document header.
  6. Buttons (optional) - Quick reply or call-to-action buttons.

​
Examples

After completing the wizard, the template is submitted to Meta for approval. Use zeplo templates list --status PENDING to track its status.

​
zeplo templates sync

Sync local templates with Meta/WhatsApp. This pulls the latest approval statuses and updates your local project to reflect any changes made directly in the Meta Business Manager.

​
Examples

Use this command after making changes in the Meta Business Manager dashboard or when template approval statuses have changed.

​
zeplo templates delete

Delete a template by its identifier. This removes the template from both your project and Meta.
