Secara default, WhatsApp hanya mengizinkan balasan dengan teks biasa dalam waktu **24 jam** sejak pesan terakhir dari customer. Setelah melewati batas waktu ini, Kamu harus menggunakan **template message** untuk membalas.\
Template bisa dibuat terlebih dahulu melalui halaman **Broadcast** [cek disini](/chat/broadcasts.md)

**Contoh:** Jika customer terakhir mengirim pesan pukul 10:00, maka Kamu hanya bisa membalas sampai pukul 10:00 keesokan harinya.

#### Free Entry Point – CTWA

Jika percakapan berasal dari iklan **Click to WhatsApp Ads (CTWA)**, jendela percakapan terbuka selama **72 jam**. Dalam periode ini, Kamu tetap bisa membalas dengan teks biasa tanpa harus menggunakan template.
