Things to Know Before Creating a Template
Keep It Short and Clear:
Templates should be concise, as WhatsApp messages are best when brief.
Avoid Variables in Unstructured Text:
Ensure variables are properly formatted using double curly braces
{{ }}.Example: Use
{{name}}instead of "name".
Check for Errors:
Ensure all variables match the column headers in your contact list. A mismatch may result in missing or incorrect data in your messages.

Use bold or italic text to emphasize key points in your message.
