I have the same problem, the WhatsApp “Send a Template” module connects to the META API but does not mapp the variables already configured on the Message Models. I tried different ways to configure such variables but nothing works. Although the (META API) documentation refers to integer numbers as variables, like {{1}} ou {{2}} it only accepts names like {{agent\_name}}.
