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.
