It uses a three-color scale: green (healthy), yellow (warning), and red (risk of ban). Keeping it green is operationally critical\u2014a consistently red number results in a ban, which is virtually irreversible.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"como-calcula-meta-la-calidad\">How Meta calculates quality<\/h2>\n<p>Meta combines four signals:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Blocking rate<\/strong> \u2014 percentage of receptors that block you.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reporting rate<\/strong> \u2014 percentage that reports you as spam.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Engagement<\/strong> \u2014 percentage that responds, reads or interacts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Template types<\/strong> \u2014 correct category and content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The calculation is opaque, but the effect is clear: if too many receptors react negatively, the quality drops.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"los-tres-niveles-de-calidad\">The three levels of quality<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Level<\/th>\n<th>Meaning<\/th>\n<th>Operational effect<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Green (High)<\/td>\n<td>Healthy<\/td>\n<td>High shipping limits, no restrictions<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Yellow (Medium)<\/td>\n<td>Warning<\/td>\n<td>Reduced limits, Meta alert<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Red (Low)<\/td>\n<td>Risk<\/td>\n<td>Minimum limits, imminent risk of banning<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>If you stay in the red for several days, Meta may pause sending marketing templates or, in extreme cases, ban the number.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"tiers-de-envio-en-2026\">Shipping tiers in 2026<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to quality, Meta applies shipping tiers:<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Tier<\/th>\n<th>Unique recipients \/ 24h<\/th>\n<th>How to upload<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Tier 1<\/td>\n<td>1.000<\/td>\n<td>Initial<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tier 2<\/td>\n<td>10.000<\/td>\n<td>Demonstrate consistently good quality<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tier 3<\/td>\n<td>100.000<\/td>\n<td>More sustained quality + volume<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tier 4<\/td>\n<td>Unlimited<\/td>\n<td>Verified enterprise accounts<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>To move up a tier, you need consistent green quality and increasing volume. If you drop to yellow or red, you&#039;ll be demoted.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"reglas-para-mantener-la-calidad-en-verde\">8 rules for maintaining quality in green<\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"solo-escribir-a-contactos-con-opt-in-real\">1. Only write to contacts with genuine opt-in information.<\/h3>\n<p>Click-to-WhatsApp ads, web forms with checkboxes, QR codes in stores\u2014all valid. Buying lists or importing contacts without consent\u2014quality drops quickly.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"categoria-de-plantilla-correcta\">2. Correct template category<\/h3>\n<p>Marketing as a service is a policy violation. You&#039;ll receive an automatic warning and the quality will be reduced.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"frecuencia-razonable\">3. Reasonable frequency<\/h3>\n<p>Maximum 1 promotion per week in most verticals. More than that, and the reporting rate increases.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"contenido-relevante-al-receptor\">4. Content relevant to the recipient<\/h3>\n<p>Segment your audience. A premium customer receives different information than a cold lead. Irrelevant messages generate reports.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"responder-rapido\">5. Respond quickly<\/h3>\n<p>Numbers with a first response time of less than 5 minutes are almost never reported. No response or late response times are.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"hora-correcta\">6. Correct time<\/h3>\n<p>Sending at 11 PM is aggressive. Business hours or early evening\/night is safer.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"plantillas-claras-y-respetuosas\">7. Clear and respectful templates<\/h3>\n<p>No all caps, no false urgency, no threats. Always maintain a professional tone.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"boton-de-salida-visible\">8. Visible Exit Button<\/h3>\n<p>Offering &quot;reply STOP to stop receiving messages&quot; improves engagement and reduces reports.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"que-hacer-si-tu-calidad-cae-a-amarillo-o-rojo\">What to do if your quality drops to yellow or red<\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"acciones-inmediatas\">Immediate actions<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Pause all marketing campaigns.<\/strong> Only leave active service conversations.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Review segmentation.<\/strong> Who did you send the last thing to?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Review the content.<\/strong> Is there false urgency, all caps, aggressive language?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Communicate with customers<\/strong> that opened complaints to resolve.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wait 7-14 days<\/strong> without new marketing templates before gradually resuming.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3 id=\"recuperacion-gradual\">Gradual recovery<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>It starts with very low volume (10-20% of the normal volume).<\/li>\n<li>Only to highly engaged contacts.<\/li>\n<li>Conservative templates, clearly useful.<\/li>\n<li>Monitors daily quality.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If the quality returns to green after 1-2 weeks, gradually resume normal volume.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"como-monitorear-calidad\">How to monitor quality<\/h2>\n<p>Meta shows quality in <em>WhatsApp Manager \u2192 Phone numbers \u2192 Quality Rating<\/em>But the update is slow and the level of detail is low.<\/p>\n<p>A professional platform like Aurora Inbox monitors in real time:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Current quality.<\/li>\n<li>Trend (rising, stable, falling).<\/li>\n<li>Blocking rate and reports by template.<\/li>\n<li>Early warning when approaching the yellow threshold.<\/li>\n<li>Specific recommendations based on the detected pattern.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"errores-comunes-que-matan-la-calidad\">Common mistakes that kill quality<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Buy lists and send them in bulk.<\/strong> Recipe straight to the red.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Import CRM contacts without opt-in verification.<\/strong> Same effect.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Templates with capital letters or false urgency.<\/strong> Meta automatic filter.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Send marketing at 11 PM.<\/strong> Immediate reports.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Not responding quickly.<\/strong> Engagement drops, quality declines.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Confusing template categories.<\/strong> Direct policy violation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"por-que-aurora-inbox\">Why Aurora Inbox<\/h2>\n<p>Aurora Inbox monitors number quality in real time, triggers early alerts before it reaches a critical level, and suggests specific adjustments based on detected patterns.

Negative effects (turning yellow\/red) are immediate in high volumes.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"la-calidad-afecta-solo-plantillas-marketing\">Does quality only affect marketing templates?<\/h3>\n<p>Mainly, yes. Service conversations (initiated by the customer) are less sensitive, but a red number ends with everything blocked.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"puedo-recuperar-un-numero-rojo\">Can I recover from a negative balance?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, with a 1-2 week break + gradual return. If you remain in the red zone for too long, Meta may issue a permanent ban.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"aurora-inbox-monitorea-la-calidad\">Does Aurora Inbox monitor quality?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, in real time with early alerts. Much better than Meta&#039;s basic dashboard.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mi-calidad-sube-si-bajo-el-volumen\">Does my quality improve if I lower the volume?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, gradually. But only if the content and opt-in also improve.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"que-pasa-con-mi-numero-si-me-banean\">What happens to my number if I get banned?<\/h3>\n<p>It&#039;s practically unrecoverable.
