Behavior notes
- category: MARKETING | UTILITY | AUTHENTICATION
- format: SINGLE | CAROUSEL
- Creates draft only and does not submit to Meta
- Template name should be lowercase with underscores for reliable Meta acceptance
- When BODY has variables ({{1}}, {{2}}), include example.body_text values to avoid review failures
- For MARKETING templates, include opt-out language such as "Send STOP to stop receiving marketing messages."
- WhatsApp text formatting is supported in BODY/FOOTER: *bold*, _italic_, ~strikethrough~, `inline code`, ```monospace```, numbered lists (1. item), bullets (- item), and quote lines (> text)
- BUTTON text must exactly match what you intend to submit. Meta is strict about button text mismatches
- For IMAGE/VIDEO/DOCUMENT headers, set example.header_handle from whatsapp_template_media_upload before submission
