Describe the problem/error/question

While using the WhatsApp business cloud, I have to use the option to send a template.
The optional templates and send phone number(or ID) are not extracted automatically from whatsapp, so I need to use expressions to call them, the sender phone number works fine, but when trying to use expression for the relevant template I need, I get an error, as n8n expects the template name but meta expects both template name and the language code. I wanted to check what is the right format for the expression as I couldn’t find it anywhere.

What is the error message (if any)?

Bad request - please check your parameters
The parameter template[‘language’][‘code’] is required.

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:

Hey @Eyal_Jacoby_Miller,

The documentation you need is here:

The JSON would look something like this:

{
  "messaging_product": "whatsapp",
  "recipient_type": "individual",
  "to": "PHONE_NUMBER",
  "type": "template",
  "template": {
    "name": "TEMPLATE_NAME",
    "language": {
      "code": "LANGUAGE_CODE"
    },
    "components": [
      {
        "type": "header",
        "parameters": [
          {
            "type": "image",
            "image": {
              "link": "IMAGE_URL"
            }
          }
        ]
      },
      {
        "type": "body",
        "parameters": [
          {
            "type": "text",
            "text": "TEXT_PARAMETER"
          }
        ]
      },
      {
        "type": "button",
        "sub_type": "quick_reply",
        "index": "0",
        "parameters": [
          {
            "type": "payload",
            "payload": "BUTTON_PAYLOAD"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}
