twilio/text

Twilio/text type contains only plain text-based content. While text content may be sent to OTT channels without the use of content templates, the twilio/text type can be used as a fallback content type when sending to a mix of channels. Additionally, templates make it easy to utilize variables to create dynamic content.

Twilio/text templates can be sent via WhatsApp for out of session messages with variables. If the template's body starts or ends with a variable or has two variables next to each other, the template will not be approved by WhatsApp without a sample variable. For additional information about variables see Using Variables with Content Templates.
