Tips for templates that get approved

Name the sender: start or end with your brand name so the customer knows who wrote.
Use {#var#} only for parts that change; keep the rest as fixed text.
Each {#var#} carries up to 30 characters - split long values such as addresses.
Write Rs. instead of the rupee sign and straight quotes instead of curly ones to stay in plain GSM text.
Keep offers out of service templates; register marketing text as promotional.
Whitelist every link domain and call-back number used in the message for your header.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is {#var#} in a DLT template?

{#var#} marks a variable: a part of the message that changes every time, such as a customer name, order number, amount or OTP. Everything else in the template must stay exactly the same when you send.

Which category should I choose for OTP templates?

Banks and financial institutions register OTPs as Transactional. Other businesses register OTP templates as Service Implicit. The generator shows the suggested category for each use case.

Can I edit the generated template?

Yes. Treat it as a starting point and change the wording to suit your business. Keep it plain GSM text and check the final version with the DLT template checker.

Why does the template use Rs. instead of the rupee sign?

The rupee sign is not part of the GSM-7 alphabet, so one rupee sign turns the SMS into Unicode with 70 characters per SMS instead of 160, which can double the cost.

Are these templates approved automatically?

No. Every template is reviewed by the operator on its DLT portal. These templates follow the usual rules, which helps, but approval is decided by the operator.
