Report Ready WhatsApp Template for Diagnostic Labs
A ready-to-adapt WhatsApp message for diagnostic labs and pathology centres, with placeholders, sample values and compliance notes.
When to Send This Message
Send when the full report is released. For diagnostic labs and pathology centres, this is one of the everyday messages that keeps patients informed without a phone call. It works best when it is triggered automatically from your booking, billing or CRM software.
Diagnostic labs win business through doctor referrals, home sample collection and convenience.
The WhatsApp Template
Dear {{1}}, your {{2}} report from [Business Name] is ready. Download it securely here: {{3}}. Please consult your doctor to understand the results.[Business Name]
Example with sample values
Dear Meena, your CBC report from [Business Name] is ready. Download it securely here: https://example.com/r/LB77. Please consult your doctor to understand the results.
Replace [Business Name] with your registered brand name. Links shown use example.com as a placeholder; use your own domain.
Placeholders and Sample Values
| Placeholder | Meaning | Sample value |
|---|---|---|
| {{1}} | Patient | Meena |
| {{2}} | Test | CBC |
| {{3}} | Link | https://example.com/r/LB77 |
Filling in each placeholder
- Patient (sample: Meena): Use the first name or the salutation the customer gave you; fall back to a neutral greeting if the field is empty.
- Test (sample: CBC): Keep the value short and specific; test the longest realistic value to check the message still reads well.
- Link (sample: https://example.com/r/LB77): Use your own short, recognisable domain; for SMS in India the domain must be whitelisted on DLT, and each variable is usually limited to 30 characters.
This template has 3 placeholders and a body of 154 characters before values are filled in. WhatsApp allows up to 1,024 characters in a template body, but short messages with one clear action get the best response.
Category and Approval
Utility templates must relate to a specific transaction, account or request the customer already has with you, such as a confirmation, reminder or status update. Do not add offers or promotional lines, as Meta may reclassify the template as marketing.
Compliance Checklist
- Variables are numbered in order and you provide sample values when submitting; avoid starting or ending the body with a variable.
- Links point to your own website or a trusted domain, and button labels are short and clear.
- Marketing messages include an easy way to opt out, and opt-outs are honoured promptly.
Rules to keep in mind for Diagnostic Labs
Labs should describe tests factually and avoid diagnostic claims in ads. Reports contain health data, so links must be secure and shared only with the patient or the person they authorise, in line with the DPDP Act, 2023.
General guidance, not legal advice. Rules change, so confirm current requirements before launch. See our WhatsApp compliance guide for India.
Tips for Better Results
- Use the customer's name and a reference number so the message is easy to trust and to search for later.
- Send it as close as possible to the event it relates to, such as right after booking or the day before an appointment.

Questions About This Template
When should a diagnostic lab send the report ready message?
Send when the full report is released. Automate it from your software where possible so it is never forgotten.
Do WhatsApp templates need approval?
Yes. Business-initiated messages outside the 24-hour customer service window must use a template approved by Meta. Approval is usually quick, but templates can be rejected or re-categorised if they break the guidelines.
Can I change the wording?
Yes. Adapt the text to your business, but keep it clear and specific, keep variables in order and submit realistic sample values. Any change to an approved template needs re-approval.
Can DND Teams set this up for my diagnostic lab?
Yes. We adapt the template to your business, register or submit it, and connect it to your software or our panel. Share your use case on WhatsApp or through the form.
