Template paused mid-campaign for spam reports

This is different from a template being rejected before approval. Here, a template that was already approved and running gets paused mid-campaign because too many recipients marked it as spam. WhatsApp temporarily blocks the template to protect your account quality.

How this differs from a rejected template

A rejected template never got approved in the first place, usually for policy or formatting reasons. A paused template was working fine until real recipients started reporting it — the fix is different because you cannot simply resubmit the same content.

Two ways to resume messaging

1
Clone and modify the template. Create a copy of the paused template, make small changes to the wording so it reads differently from the original, and submit the new version for approval. Once approved, use this new template to resume your campaign.
2
Edit and resubmit the existing template. Directly edit the paused template’s text to bring it into compliance, then submit it for reapproval. Once approved, continue the same campaign with the updated version.
Why this happens

A high spam report rate on one template usually means the content felt unexpected, overly promotional, or was sent to people who did not clearly opt in. Adjusting the wording and being more selective about your audience next time reduces the chance of it happening again.
