What You'll Learn

In this tutorial you'll learn:

  • Understand the real template status flow
  • Refresh a template's status from Meta

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Submit

Creating a template submits it to Meta immediately. Its status starts at Pending — there is no draft state to save and submit later.

2

Wait for review

Meta typically reviews within minutes to a few hours, occasionally longer. The status updates to Approved or Rejected.
