Which Meta category is this?
Marketing. This is a marketing message: it promotes or invites. It is billed at the marketing rate and should only go to contacts who opted in to promotions. Rates are set by Meta and change, so check the current India rate card; see our WhatsApp API pricing guide. InboxWA adds no markup to Meta's message fees.
When to send
Send on the birthday morning, or 2 days before.
A mistake to avoid
Collecting birthdays without consent. Ask at sign-up and say why.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need Meta approval for a birthday offer template?
Yes, for any message you start outside the 24-hour customer service window. Submit the template, wait for approval, then send it. Inside the window you can reply freely.
Can I change the wording after it is approved?
A small edit usually means submitting a new template version. Keep the approved text stable and put the parts that change into variables.
Can I send this in Hindi or another language?
Yes. Create a separate template per language and send each to the contacts who prefer it.
