What is Template Quality Rating?

A per-template health score reflecting how recipients respond to that specific message template.

The template quality rating is a score Meta assigns to each individual message template — shown as Green (high), Yellow (medium), or Red (low) — based on recent recipient feedback like blocks and reports tied to messages using that template. It is distinct from the overall phone number quality rating.

If a template's quality drops too far, Meta may pause it, preventing further sends until it improves or is revised. This protects users from low-value or unwanted content delivered through a specific template.

Monitoring template quality lets businesses spot and fix underperforming messages before they harm the number's broader reputation.

Why it matters

A poorly rated template can be paused by Meta, so watching template quality protects both your campaigns and your number's reputation.
