Hey @Nigel_Mendoza I have done it using the following: `https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone={Telefono}&text=He%20creado%20un%20nuevo%20pedido%20por%20monto: %20{Monto}%20con:%20{List}` You have to change your own information for for {Telefono} etc. The %20 has to be after each word. Let us know if you need more help. ---

Try using %0D%0A to create a line break. You can also add some lines by hitting enter in the template as in creating a new line. > **[WhatsApp Help Center - How to format your messages](https://faq.whatsapp.com/general/chats/how-to-format-your-messages/?lang=en)** > > How to format your messages - > WhatsApp allows you to format text inside your messages.

Do you have a screenshot? This is how I have it set up. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/5/8/584d9355cf4c316418f3afca380c85294762fdd8.jpeg) And this is how it is sent. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/9/9/99ea194b541290b0a88b9e839e2be44da088200d.jpeg) ---

Hola @Nigel_Mendoza, Notice that in my screenshot I have the %20 after each word. In your case, it should be something like this: Hello,%20I’d%20to%20place%20an%20order👇🏿%0A%0D At%20\*{Merchant name} I think you get the idea. Follow the pattern in my screenshot. ---

Why did you mention %20 after each word? We have construct URL column, it’ll automatically convert text to URL Encoded format. ![Screenshot 2021-03-19 at 6.09.46 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/4/b/4b8d60455ae852e9f4b87368939b089f849a731d.png) Now, You can also use this column as a template column to swap WhatsApp numbers to each row. ---
