WhatsApp Template Variable Checker
Check a WhatsApp template body for variable numbering, placement, length and common formatting problems.
What is the WhatsApp Template Variable Checker?
This tool scans a WhatsApp message template body and reports its character count, how many {{1}}-style variables it has, whether the numbering runs in order, and warnings such as starting or ending with a variable or placing variables side by side. It is a quick pre-check only. Meta's review rules decide approval.
How to use it
- Paste the template body text with placeholders such as {{1}} and {{2}}.
- Optionally change the length limit used for the length warning.
- Read the report and fix any warnings.
- Check the result against Meta's current template guidelines before you submit the template.
WhatsApp Template Variable Checker — FAQ
Does passing this check mean Meta will approve the template?
No. This is a simple structural check. Meta reviews content, category and policy compliance, and its rules can change, so always read its current documentation.
Why must variable numbers run in order?
Templates use numbered placeholders that are filled in order when you send. Gaps or repeated numbers are a common cause of rejected or broken templates.
Why is starting or ending with a variable flagged?
Meta's guidelines commonly ask for fixed text around variables, so templates that begin or end with one are often rejected. Add a few words of fixed text.
