&lt;P&gt;Yes, enterprises can send multiple WhatsApp&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcommunity.sinch.com%2Ft5%2FWhatsApp%2FWhat-is-a-message-template-and-why-are-they-necessary%2Fta-p%2F6857&amp;amp;data=04%7C01%7Cshahzad.ismail%40sinch.com%7C16382f8a14cb49838db308da1efb39ec%7C3b518aae89214a7b8497619d756ce20e%7C0%7C0%7C637856361641083561%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&amp;amp;sdata=JLRoloWddiqpIEgW4TBQStfTQTxzjuqt5eSz8pGqK%2F8%3D&amp;amp;reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;template messages&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;outside a customer care session. These can be sent as part of business-initiated conversations. However, &lt;A title="pricing update" href="https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/updates-to-pricing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow noreferrer"&gt;As of June 1, 2023&lt;/A&gt;, the business-initiated&amp;nbsp;conversation category has been split into three new categories (each with their own pricing structure):&amp;nbsp;&lt;STRONG&gt;utility&lt;/STRONG&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;STRONG&gt;authentication&lt;/STRONG&gt;, and&amp;nbsp;&lt;STRONG&gt;marketing&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;conversations. All templates used to begin business-initiated conversations will be associated with one of those three categories, and all of the above-mentioned conversations will still last 24 hours.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If you send a template message, and an existing conversation in the template message's category does not already exist, a new conversation will start.&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN&gt;If&amp;nbsp;you send a template message while there is already a conversation in progress, and&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;the category of the template and the category of the open conversation do not match, a new conversation will begin in the category of the template. Finally, any template messages sent during a service conversation&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN&gt;(referred to as a user-initiated conversation prior to&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;A title="pricing update" href="https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/updates-to-pricing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow noreferrer"&gt;June 1, 2023&lt;/A&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;)&lt;/SPAN&gt; will begin a new conversation in the category associated with the template.&lt;/P&gt;
