Getting your SMS content template approved at Airtel DLT (Distributed Ledger Technology) is an important step before you send bulk SMS in India. This helps stop spam and keeps messages safe. But don’t worry, it’s easy to do when you follow the right steps!
What is a Content Template?
A content template is the message format you want to send through SMS. It can have fixed words and also special parts like [Name], [OTP], or [Amount]. These change every time based on who receives the message.
Example: “Hi [Name], your OTP is [OTP]. Do not share it.”
This is a **transactional SMS template**. It can be used many times by just changing [Name] and [OTP].
