I am testing a feature of WhatsApp Business API using a test account. I want to integrate this functionality in my personal project. So far, I have tried submitting many different templates. But none of them were approved. Not just that, most of them were rejected with seconds by some AI I guess. They haven't provided any specific reason for it.
These are the templates I have submitted till now:

Why Awareness campaign on waste management is so important?
Waste management and disposal of waste is a serious issue that we are facing nowadays. If we are not aware of proper waste management, it leads to serious issues like air pollution, water pollution, and soil pollution. By doing small practices in our daily life we can make a huge difference. For that, we all have to practice the “3Rs” in our daily life.
The 3Rs – Reuse, Reduce, Recycle
Reduce- try to reduce the use of single-use products maximum especially plastic substances.
Reuse- always try to reuse day to life things. For example, carry kit when you are going for shopping.
Recycle- try maximum to recycle or reuse things other than disposing of.
Above all 3R’s will help us and our society for the proper disposal of waste management.

More than a question this is going to be a long story and a call for all those professionals, developers and merchants that are actively using paypal adaptive payments (preapprovals and chained).
I (and my team with me) strongly think that adaptive payments are and have been a great solution.
Since we adopted them in late 2012 we immediately understood the potential and the flexibility of this great set of APIs. The adoption of this APIs in Italy was something like a nightmare in those times. No docs in italian, no support in italian, everything was done in english with one great support person of paypal in Dublin following us in the integration at the phone :) We were pioneers in our country but at the end we finally had our flows done.
Preapprovals + chained payments and the world can be in your hand.
We could do almost anything and this was what we did. A great platform for buying groups that in those last year is expoloding in our country. Today we have dozens of active and happy users (thousands we brought to paypal) and almost one houndred very selected merchants that we've followed step by step with the paypal team in the limit removal nightmare stuff. One, by one.
And here comes the call.
How many are we using them and what will be the future and possible migration solutions?
As almost all of the users of adaptives knows those APIs are well functioning but deprecated since few years. This means that nobody can start new integrations with them but, worst of all, that all those that are actively using them - like us - still don't really know what the future will be. I'm fairly certain that we can't be alone. I'm almost sure that there are other businesses, merchants, developers who have built great ideas relying on those APIs and now that we've given soul and blood for years putting all of our efforts in developing, optimizing, updating and growing our platforms and our communities, we're at a crossroad: to wait and hope or to look for alternatives.
On an app owner view, there's no understandable reason why paypal should shut off those APIs and, infact, till today, fortunately we've heard nothing about a sunsetting of those APIs, however we all know that they have been deprecated and any of us can safely say that there won't be a sunsetting or a forced migration in the future.
So, why don't we start joining our voices to have clear, understandable and certified roadmap and / or plans around this topic?
Talking with the commercial team in Dublin, they say that everything is ok with adaptives and they will continue working for a long time (and this would be great) but, on the other side, talking with the MTS team the view is a little bit different and no so enthusiastic go on mood in the air. Most of all because of the introduction of the PSD2 Directive in Europe.
As many in the European market should have heard, in the last few months another big concern (investing everything in the payments industry) is the PSD2 compliance and maybe just for this directive that the future of adaptives could be involved too.
Adaptives unfortunately are not PSD2 ready and the hope that paypal will put efforts in making them compatible while it is a deprecated solution is very thin.
The strong customer authentication, mandatory in the new rules schema would force the tech team to update all their products but, always on the merchant / app owner / user view, it seems more plausible that paypal will put the more efforts in the new products instead of renewing the old ones.
However, adaptives are both:
a great solution used by a lot of merchants (again, how much we are?!) in the world continuatively draining new users and merchants (for free) to paypal (just for how the adaptives and preapprovals works, in many cases you're forced to open a paypal account and all we app owners have done this for years);
an easily adjustable tool to be PSD2 ready
We're now in a "grace period" for PSD2 and that to make Adaptive payments complying with PSD2 directive wouldn't be so hard: preapprovals are the CORE and if you add a strong customer authentication to the preapproval flow the great part of the job is done. Chained payments made direclty at the presence of the user too, just adding a strong customer authentication should fit the needs and server to server chained payments sould fall in the MIT (merchant initiated payments) that seems to be out of the object of the directive.
Forcing migrations, on the other hand, would result in loosing a lot of customers, merchants, app owners that for some reason can't change the architecture because of the specific business model or because they don't find real concrete solutions in alternative APIs. Fixing it appears to be a better solution.
The call to all the adaptive payments users is to join this conversation and bring your thoughts, just to see if we're alone or if we're a lot with the same issue at the door.
An enthusiastic and happy adaptive heavy user and owner in Italy.
Cheers, Fil
In planning for the future, the best approach would likely be to put together a list of your platform's requirements and expected volume, and contact PayPal regarding: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/commerce-platform/
You can also look at other options
I don't think anyone knows exactly how long Adaptive Payments will remain available as a legacy service for existing integrations, but I would expect it will be long enough for you to set up a new one that users can migrate to
While I found quite some interesting suggestions on this site (the typical WP vs. Joomla) I just couldn't find an answer that could help me get started.
I know this is close to some of the other CMS questions but I'm missing specificities that need answering.
I'm looking for a CMS that can provide me with the following key functionalities, either through minimal programming or additional plugin installations. I'm stating this because it won't be just me, who can program, but also other trainers who are not technically inclined that will handle the site (in the future).
The functionalities I'm looking for:
Schedule management of training
Trainees of the club must check-in before or after the training to proof attendance, thus site must be mobile friendly. This is more proof-of-concept since not everyone has/wants a smartphone.
Each trainee has his own profile that logs said attendance
Possibility to provide feedback on training. For example: give a thumbs up on the last training, give a "yellow card" if the trainee misbehaved, two/three/four and you're prohibited from training ones/twice/thrice.
The attendance allows the trainee to become eligible for the next exam
Schedule management of said exam
Yearly subscription reminders for the trainees and if under-aged required parent information
Management of trainee profiles and subscriptions
Is the above possible through a CMS or is it too specific and will I need to program this myself? Either is fine by me but I'd first like to find out if a CMS can offer this.
I've decided to Go for a custom solution using ReactJS.
There are very good open-source solutions for the admin part and the open/client part is fairly simple so React is perfect for what I want to achieve. Additionally, it also challenges to think differently since I never worked with ReactJS before.
With ReactJS I have a lot of freedom in how I implement the above scenarios while at the same time have a lot of support available online in cause of issues.
I'm currently designing my very first Website for a small business Intranet (5 pages). Can anyone recommend the best way to manage content for the Company News section? I don't really want to get involved in day to day content updates so something that would be simple for the Marketing guy to create and upload a simple news article, perhaps created in MS Word, lets assume the author has no html skills.
I've read about Content Management systems but,
A. I won't get any funding for purchase and
B. Think it's a bit overkill for a small 5 page internal website.
It's been an unexpected hurdle in my plans, for something that I'd assumed would be a fairly common functionality I can't seem to find any definitive articles to suit my needs.
I'm open to suggestions (even if it's confirmation that a CMS is the only way to go).
Your requirements are : small site, no budget and the need for it to be easy for the marketing guy to upload a news item.
My recommendation would be to go with an all in one CMS e.g wordpress which has the kind of functionality you're talking about out of the box.
My guess is this organisation is just getting into "intranets" so something quick and simple that can be used to justify expenditure if value is returned is the key. Perhaps look at a plugin that automatically emails a summary of the blog posts to all employees once a week would be useful ?
There are many options and you can use any one of these:
Joomla
SilverStripe CMS
ModX
Cushy CMS
Frog CMS
Drupal
Additional in what Mr. Mckinnon said, you must keep in mind that if you don't want to get involved in daily updates of the people who is going to use the platform, you should consider the following:
What kind of data you want to be displayed
Who can view/modify that data
Who can create/remove data
How you will be organizing all that data
Your intranet should not be limited to display or create data, eventually all that data can turn into a beautiful Knowledge Base (KB) for your company that eventually your coworkers can share their solutions to common and rare problems that company can present eventually. This KB is amazing and time-saving, it is recommended to start it as soon as possible, so newcomers to your Company have access to it and see the most common issues and they can enter into production asap (we all know time is a luxury in every company regarding size).
Just keep in mind too, that all that knowledge and data is beyond valuable to you and your coworkers, so you should also consider some additional login credentials so your Company System Administrator can manage those credentials and also eventual audit for unauthorized access (if applicable).
I hope this helps from the administrative point of view
I have a website where people do simple cognitive psychology experiments. Currently, people volunteer. To increase numbers of responses, I would like to offer micropayments in a manner similar to Mechanical Turk*.
My question is, What would would be the best system to use to make these payments? I would guess that both paypal and flattr would be options. Has anyone with experience with setting up a micropayment system like this be able to offer advice?
cheers,
Mark
*I am not thinking about using mechanical turk itself, just because I do not think I would be able to control the web based studies exactly I would need.
Flattr would work in your scenario:
Each person doing the test would need a Flattr account.
They’d need to login with their Flattr account on your site (like on fundd.de) or connect your site with their Flattr (easy with OAuth).
Once they’ve taken the test you manually Flattr them and by controlling your monthly budget you control how much each click is worth.
Our API makes setting this up fairly easy and straightforward http://developers.flattr.net/
Downsides:
Required to sign up with an additional service.
Flattr currently caps monthly spending at €100 so if you have lots and lots of testers you’d run into problems of making the payment high enough. We are reconsidering this, at least for users in good standing.
Monetary incentives for testers bring in a different crowd and can influence the results of their tests but you probably already know that.
Cheers,
Teller
PS. I work at Flattr.
I work for an R&D company in the energy business. We've developed some successful products, but now seem to be spending all our time fixing issues relating to those products. We don't seem to have any time to work on developing new products.
Does anyone have any good ideas on how to both handle problems arising with the existing products but still have the time and resources to develop new products as well?
TY,
Fred
If you have a successful product, and are staffed to handle either development OR maintenance then the solution seems to point at hiring. Perhaps bring in some new blood/fresh grads to "grow" them into the more mission critical side of the R&D company? Thus the new blood would gain experience on existing products (with guidance from the more senior staff) and grow into great devs for the R&D side!
I would suggest the best method is to have a group/person dedicated to new development. They should be available for questions, but... The only problem would probably be some jealousy, but a good manager should be able to figure out how to handle that.
Why do you need all manpower for the existing products?
Was the staff reduced after completion? - Hire new guys
Are the products -ahem- very defective? - Fix your process, and fix your bugs first (sorry)
Did you develop many products, with more and more time going into maintenance, and now no development is left? - Cancel support for old products, hire new guys, or make clients pay dearly for maintenance (i.e. let them cancel support)
Are you frantically adding new features to the products? - sorry, you are doing new stuff. New features need to be balanced
Does the comany require more "R"? Many R&D companies end up M&F - Maintenance and Features. Are the other guys happy? If so, maybe you need to look for a position better suited to you.
I am not sure about your position - are you doing inhouse development, or is your company selling the software? In any case, there must be some room for new development, to remain healthy. Make clear to your management that, if the job consists purely of maintenance, the best people will leave.
Don't expect to much, though - especially if you are on inhouse development. It is estimated that 80% of all positions are maintenance (I wish I could find a reference).
Have management come up with a list of fixes that need to be done.
Engineering assigns an estimate of hours for each fix.
Decide which fixes get in and which get pushed out. Some may be "fixed" in documentation (work-around, known issues, etc.)
If you can afford to, hire someone to handle support and maintenance to free up resources for research.
If you cannot, you need to reduce your marginal cost per customer. Keep track of all manual labor and support requests and prioritize new features that will reduce these to a minimum.

try Getting Things Done by David Allen
Be very careful of this. I've seen a few companies do this where the support of the active products (the ones making money) became secondary. The "Support" function is minimized because support income counts against you in an IPO situation.
The next thing you know, your company isn't making any money, the support staff that are trying to make a little are treated like crap (and fired when the money runs out), and the "New product" team isn't required to release anything (no customer demand) so they succumb to feature-creep and multi-year long release dates.
This leads to a refocus where 2/3 of the companies staff is cut and the remainder all work on support and a token few on the "Next generation" that's always around the corner--which works until the bank calls in the loan for the money you borrowed to hire the marketing people before you even had a "new" product to market.
It doesn't have to happen this way--just be careful.
