How to Maintain (or Improve) Quality Rating

  • Always share user relevant messages i.e., the nature of the message sent to the users must be the ones they signed up / opted-in for. For example: If a customer has opted for financial updates on WhatsApp while registering over the bank app. Now, if the customer has initiated a conversation for a query, the 24-hour window for conversations must not be used to upsell and cross sell bank offerings and products.
  • Implement a human escalation matrix which provides the end-user a mechanism to get in touch with the brand via methods such as email or contact center support.
  • Always specify a method for OPT-out i.e., option must be clearly specified on how the end –user can opt out from receiving messages from the brand over WhatsApp.
  • Alert emails for change in the Quality Rating status are sent to the concerned POC for the Brand /Account. It is suggested to closely monitor the status and make changes to any recently sent templates which have a lower template Quality Rating status or response message sent to user-initiated conversations.
  • Follow the WhatsApp Business Policy. Do not send promotional content.
  • The name of the business is not visible if the customer hasn't added the business to their address book; instead the Business Phone Number will be visible. In addition, if the business sends a template notification which contains a link, then links will not be clickable. Once the customer adds the business to their address book or replies on the WhatsApp chat, the links become clickable.
