In Template Format, you need to add the format of your WhatsApp Template Message as shown in the image on the right. There are 2 rules for using parameters while drafting Template Format.
-
Make sure to use variable parameters and that they have the correct number of curly brackets (i.e., there need to be 2 brackets on the left and 2 on the right of the variable)
-
Make sure the parameters (e.g., {{1}}) contains some text
For example:
Correct Format:

Parameters in Sample Message
In Sample Message, you need to copy-paste the same WhatsApp Template message as in Template Format.
The only difference is that instead of curly brackets, you need to use "[]" square brackets. Also, instead of the number (1), you must add a sample value i.e. name.
Similarly, if there's another bracket, you must add a solid figure, instead of a variable in Sample Message.
Don't worry, the parameters won't appear when your Broadcast goes live.
