WhatsApp error 132000: template parameter count mismatch
Error 132000 means the number of variable values in your request did not match the number of variables defined in the template. Meta's fix is to include a value for every required parameter.
Based on Meta's official documentation, checked 18 October 2026. Sources are linked at the end; where Meta gives no fix, we do not invent one.
What Meta says it means
Meta describes 132000 as the number of variable parameter values included in the request not matching the number of variable parameters defined in the template.
Templates use either positional parameters (the default) or named parameters, which are lowercase strings with underscores inside double curly brackets, such as {{first_name}}.
What Meta says to do
- Read the parameter section of Meta's Templates documentation.
- Make sure the request includes values for all required parameters in the template.
