&lt;p&gt;For teams new to this API, the binding constraint isn&#39;t technical setup, it&#39;s Meta&#39;s policy machinery: template approvals, quality ratings, and the messaging limits that move with them. That reframes what &quot;beginner-friendly&quot; means. The valuable tool is the one that teaches policy as you work, flagging a template likely to be rejected and explaining why your quality rating dipped, because the failure mode for newcomers isn&#39;t a failed integration, it&#39;s a restricted number two weeks after launch. Setup-timeline stories here would be more useful if they included the first policy incident and how the platform helped, or didn&#39;t.&lt;/p&gt;
