Template Category Migration Update

To line up with the template category change from WhatsApp, starting from 29th March 2023, the template event payload will further be categorized into two types - status-update and category-update events.

As Meta migrates your WhatsApp Business API templates to new categories, Gupshup too will synchronously migrate your templates to the new categories. If subscribed to the system events for your app, the category-update event will be sent on your app's callback URL notifying you of the old category and the new category.
