Associate WhatsApp Templates with Content Library Items

After you create a WhatsApp template from scratch and send it to Meta for approval, you need to associate the template with a content library item before recruiters can start using it for automated and bulk messages.

You don’t need to perform this task for WhatsApp templates that are created by copying content library items because the association is already done at the time of copying.

A template in any status except the Inactive status can be associated with a content library item.

  1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to:
    • Offering: Recruiting and Candidate Experience
    • Functional Area: Recruiting and Candidate Experience Management
    • Task: Recruiting Content Library
  2. Search for the content item that you want to associate the WhatsApp template with.
  3. Open the content item and edit it (if it’s in Draft status) or create a new version of it (if it’s active).
  4. In the WhatsApp Notification Template list, select the name of the WhatsApp template. Recall that when creating the WhatsApp template, you had associated it with a content library category. Only those WhatsApp templates that belong to the same content library category as the content item that you’re editing (or creating a new version of) will appear in this list. Also, only those translated WhatsApp templates that are in the current language of the application will appear in this list along with their status.
    Note: The WhatsApp template status applies to the selected language template. The status and content can’t be changed.
  5. Save and activate the content item.
