**Content templates** are [templates you’ve already set up in Twilio](https://www.twilio.com/docs/content/create-templates-with-the-content-template-builder){:target="_blank”}. They can include text, media, buttons, and other elements, depending on what you’ve built. When you choose a Channel and Content Template Type in Segment, you’ll only see templates that are compatible with those choices. If you’re sending messages to WhatsApp, you’ll need to use Content Templates, since WhatsApp requires pre-approved templates. For most use cases, templates are the way to go because they support richer formatting and keep you compliant.

**Inline messages** let you write your message directly in Segment mappings. You can include [dynamic variables](#using-variables) to personalize messages. Inline messages also support adding media URLs if you’re sending MMS or WhatsApp messages. They’re useful for quick tests or simple notifications, but they don’t support all the advanced features that Content Templates do.
