## Add New Contact

Add new contacts and send active [template messages](/docs/positus/messenger/positus-messenger#enviar-mensagem-de-template) to initiate a conversation. Click on the top menu "Add new contact" and input the name, nickname, and phone number including the country code.

Remember that on the WhatsApp Business API, you can only chat with a contact freely if they reach out to you first or if they reply to your template message.

📌 Positus Messenger automatically validates whether the WhatsApp number is valid before saving a new contact.

<Info>
  Upon receiving new messages, the contact's name will automatically sync with
  their WhatsApp profile name. If you prefer to keep a fixed name, use the
  nickname field right below.

## Send Template Messages

WhatsApp templates, also known as message templates, are reusable formats for common messages that a business can send through our Positus Messenger platform. \
\
Every template must be approved by WhatsApp before it can be used—this ensures you are following the allowed content guidelines.

Before submitting your template for approval, remember that it must contain the entire message you wish to send, using placeholders like Name or Address, which will be replaced by each customer's data during delivery.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/robbu/02Bif9h5ubDKqogc/images/positus/messenger/enviar-template-hsm.gif?s=f71a4ac42b1d02e883d7e09fcae17713" alt="Sending an HSM template message" width="1354" height="958" data-path="images/positus/messenger/enviar-template-hsm.gif" />

<Info>
  Sending a template message does not open the 24-hour window. The window will
  only open when the recipient replies to your message. \ [Learn

<Info>
  #### Read receipts not showing up?

  According to WhatsApp, there are several reasons why the two checkmarks might not turn blue. This includes the recipient disabling read receipts, blocks, the phone being turned off, etc.
</Info>

## What is the 24-Hour Window?

If a user initiates a conversation with you, you can continue it over WhatsApp for up to 24 hours after their last message for free (“24-Hour Window”). Outside of this 24-Hour Window, you can only send messages using approved Message Templates (HSM), for which the applicable rate will be charged.

<Info>
  To learn more, access the **WhatsApp Business Policy**:

## What are Tags (Labels)?

Positus Messenger allows you to add tags to chats to manage conversations. Tags or labels are useful for businesses and professionals who want to keep messages from customers, suppliers, and internal topics intelligently organized and listed within the messenger. This feature adds colored flag icons over a chat's description in the chat list.

This way, the user managing contacts receives a visual aid to quickly recognize a topic and gather conversations from each category into a single list.

### Add and Remove Tags from a Conversation

To add a tag, open a conversation and click on the tag indicator icon, then select the desired tags to label and organize the chat. Clicking on a tag that is already selected for that conversation will automatically remove it.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/robbu/02Bif9h5ubDKqogc/images/positus/messenger/adicionar-remover-marcadores.gif?s=875ac45b11566188518a0eb464fc06ca" alt="Adding and removing tags from a conversation" width="1354" height="958" data-path="images/positus/messenger/adicionar-remover-marcadores.gif" />

<Info>There is no limit on the number of tags per conversation.</Info>

### Filter Conversations by Tags

Tag Filtering allows you to organize your conversations by segmentation. \
You can filter your chats using the "**Contact with specific tag**" filter and then select the tag you wish to filter by.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/robbu/02Bif9h5ubDKqogc/images/positus/messenger/filtro-por-marcadores.gif?s=c57e21c8bbc8cc56ce5793b43691a2cd" alt="Filtering conversations by tag" width="1354" height="958" data-path="images/positus/messenger/filtro-por-marcadores.gif" />

### Manage Tags

Tags can be accessed directly within a conversation in Positus Messenger or through Positus Studio by navigating to "Resources" >> "Numbers" >> (Click on the number you want to create tags for) >> "Tags" >> "Register Tag".

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/robbu/02Bif9h5ubDKqogc/images/positus/messenger/gerenciar-marcadores.gif?s=651fb39ec16bb608daa5145ff1189936" alt="Managing tags in Positus Studio" width="1354" height="958" data-path="images/positus/messenger/gerenciar-marcadores.gif" />

📌 Currently, there is no limit on the number of tags.
📌 Tags are created per phone number, meaning you can have multiple active numbers with different tags.

<Info>
  Only users with the "owner" profile for both the number and workspace can
  manage tags. To learn more about access profiles, see this link: [Click

## How to Delete Sent Messages

It is not possible to delete sent messages using Positus Messenger due to an operational limitation of the WhatsApp Business API. This safeguard ensures your company maintains a more secure environment, preventing inappropriate messages from being sent and subsequently erased.

## How to Reply to a Message

Currently, it is not possible to quote/reply to a specific message within the interface; however, your contact can reply to messages normally, and their text will be displayed in Positus Messenger linked to the original message. See the image below.
