Create a Contact Card template for WhatsApp Business

Updated 

Contact messages allow you to send rich contact information directly to WhatsApp users, such as names, phone numbers, physical addresses, and email addresses.

When a WhatsApp user taps the message's profile arrow, it displays the contact's information in a profile view:

If the WhatsApp user taps the Message button, it will open a new message with the contact. If the user taps the Save contact button, they will be given the option to save the contact as a new contact, or to update an existing contact.

You can create a contact card template in Digital Asset Manager to send on WhatsApp Business.
