WhatsApp Header Types Explained: Text vs Image vs Video vs Document
A WhatsApp template header can be text, an image, a video, or a document.

The header is the first thing a customer sees in a WhatsApp template.
None
Fine for short, informational utility messages.
Text
Good for reinforcing the message's purpose.
Image
Strong for product showcases.
Video
Higher engagement but heavier to produce.
Document
For sharing something the customer needs to keep.
Choosing well
Match the header type to what's actually being communicated.
