## Code Implementation

### How This Template is Used in Code

```python
# services/notification/app/consumers/po_event_consumer.py

template_params = [
    data.get('supplier_name', 'Estimado proveedor'),  # {{1}}
    data.get('po_number', 'N/A'),                     # {{2}}
    f"€{data.get('total_amount', 0):.2f}"            # {{3}}
]

success = await self.whatsapp_service.send_message(
    to_phone=supplier_phone,
    message="",  # Not used for template messages
    template_name="po_notification",  # Must match exactly
    template_params=template_params,
    tenant_id=tenant_id
)
```

### API Request Format

The service converts this to:

```json
{
  "messaging_product": "whatsapp",
  "to": "+34612345678",
  "type": "template",
  "template": {
    "name": "po_notification",
    "language": {
      "code": "es"
    },
    "components": [
      {
        "type": "body",
        "parameters": [
          {"type": "text", "text": "Proveedor ABC"},
          {"type": "text", "text": "PO-2024-001"},
          {"type": "text", "text": "€1,250.00"}
        ]
      }
    ]

}
```

   ```bash
   # Check in Meta Business Suite
   WhatsApp Manager → Message Templates → po_notification → Status: APPROVED
   ```

2. **Send Test Message**
   ```bash
   curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/v1/tenants/{tenant_id}/notifications/send-whatsapp \

       "template_name": "po_notification",
       "template_params": ["Test Supplier", "PO-TEST-001", "€100.00"]
     }'
   ```

3. **Verify Delivery**
