Template variables now stand out in the preview

Variables used to sit in the message body as plain text. They now render as a distinct chip in the WhatsApp preview, so you can see at a glance where the personalisation lands.

Template variables now stand out in the preview

A template variable used to read as plain text inside the message body. It now renders as a distinct chip in the WhatsApp preview.

It is a small change that removes a real annoyance. On a template carrying several variables, working out which placeholder was the name and which was the order number meant reading carefully and counting.

  • Each variable renders as a chip inside the preview, so it is visible at a glance
  • The chip carries the placeholder itself, so it still matches exactly what you submit to Meta
  • The rest of the message reads as normal text around it
