5. Template Setup

Each WooCommerce event has three settings:

FieldDescription
Template NameThe exact template name from WATI, Respond.io, or Meta.
LanguageThe approved language code, such as ar or en_US.
Params CountThe number of variables used in your template.

Example

Template Name: new_order_ar Language: ar Params Count: 5

This means the plugin will send the first 5 parameters from the default order below.

6. Default Parameter Order

The plugin sends parameters in this fixed order:

ParameterValue
{{1}}Customer Name
{{2}}Order Number
{{3}}Product Names
{{4}}Order Total
{{5}}Payment URL
{{6}}Review URL
{{7}}Billing Phone
{{8}}Billing Email
{{9}}Order Status
{{10}}Site Name

Example Template Body

Hello {{1}} Your order #{{2}} has been received. Products: {{3}} Total: {{4}} Payment link: {{5}}

For this example, set Params Count = 5.

  • New Order
  • Processing Order
  • Completed Order

Message not sent

Check that the template name and language exactly match your provider dashboard.
