WhatsApp Error 132000: Number of Parameters Doesn't Match
You may see this error when sending a WhatsApp template:
> (#132000) Number of parameters does not match the expected number of params
It means the template has variables, but the message didn't include a value for each one.
Why it happens
Templates can include variables, like:
``
Hello {{1}}, your order has been confirmed. ``This template expects one value. If you send it without a value for
{{1}}, WhatsApp rejects it with error 132000.Fix it
- Check the template: open it in Settings > WhatsApp > Templates and count the variables (
{{1}},{{2}}, and so on). - Map every variable: wherever you send it from, give each variable a value, and make sure none of them are empty. For example, for
Hi {{1}}, your appointment is on {{2}}., map{{1}}to the contact's name and{{2}}to the appointment date. - Save: if you recently changed variables, save again so everything is up to date.
Good to know
- Every variable in the template needs a value, even if it feels optional.
- If a custom field is blank for a contact, the variable is empty and the message fails. Use fields that are always filled in, or add a fallback.
