Template Buttons
Add buttons to WhatsApp templates in LeadPattern — quick-reply, link (URL) and call buttons — to make approved messages interactive and drive action.
Buttons turn a template from a block of text into something a customer can act on with a tap — reply with one word, open a link, or call you. You add them while creating the template.
Button types
A tappable reply that sends a short, predefined response back to you — great for Yes / No or menu choices. Automations can react to which button was tapped.
Link (URL)Opens a website — a product page, a payment link, a booking form.
CallDials a phone number so the customer can call you directly.
Add buttons to a template
Open the button section
While creating or editing the template, add buttons under the message body. See
Create a templateChoose the type
Pick quick-reply, link or call for each button.
Set the label and action
Give the button a short label, and set the URL or phone number for link and call buttons.
Submit for approval
Buttons are reviewed by Meta along with the rest of the template.
Keep buttons clear
- Use action verbs on labels — Track order, Book now, Call us.
- Don't over-stuff a template with buttons; a few clear choices convert better.
- Match the button to the message so the customer knows exactly what a tap does.
