It's a conversation that initiates from a business sending a user a message outside the 24 hour customer service window. Messages that initiate a business-initiated conversation will require a message template
I dont understand what that means
A business-initiated conversation is a message thread between a customer and a business
ok, last question, if I get a sender extension such as WA rocket sender, can I send unlimited messages from my personal WA?
https://www.rocketsend.io

Yes, it is possible

I just want to be able to send info quickly so everyone knows were to go, and the overall team is over 1k
Restrict with what?

As it is something they offer themselves
