### Template Message

[](#template-message)

You need to create a template message from the whatsapp business API [Developer Portal](https://developers.facebook.com/)

```
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Chandachewe\Whatsapp\Messages\TemplateMessage;

$templateMessage = new TemplateMessage(
'v19.0',
'BUSINESS PHONE NUMBER ID',
'RECIPIENT PHONE NUMBER',
'TOKEN'
);

$response = $templateMessage->template(
    'template_name',
    'language_code (optional)'

);

echo $response;
```

> Your version should be rounded to one decimal place e.g v19.0 and not v19 The language code is optional here. If empty it will take the default as en\_US

### Send a Text Message

[](#send-a-text-message)

You can only send a template type message as your first message to a user. If you want to send a text message the user must first send a message to you or reply to any of the messages you sent.
