This is the way to differentiate between an internal and external message. When we introduce /w, we let the system know that the message is for sending directly via WhatsApp Business API to the customer.
A WhatsApp template is a message format that can be used over and over again to send messages to users once it has been previously approved by WhatsApp. If you want to contact a WhatsApp customer that has not replied to your business for over 24 hours, you can only use a WhatsApp template to contact them. You can only use normal text/media messages until the customer replies you.
