WhatsApp Template Live Preview
See a live WhatsApp template preview inside the Odoo form view, with no popups.
Overview
WhatsApp Template Live Preview is a small, focused module that adds a live preview panel to the WhatsApp message template form in Odoo. As you edit a template, you see how the finished message will appear — without leaving the form or opening a popup.
Built by TechUltra Solutions, the module works alongside Odoo Enterprise's WhatsApp Messaging module. It does not change how templates are sent or stored; it only makes them faster to review while you build them.
The module is lightweight by design. There is no configuration to complete — once installed, the preview appears on the template form, so teams that manage WhatsApp communications spend less time switching screens.
Key features
-
Live preview inside the form
Renders a preview of the WhatsApp template directly inside its form view, so you can review the message without opening any popup window.
-
Works with Odoo Enterprise WhatsApp
Integrates with the Odoo Enterprise WhatsApp Messaging module, adding the preview without changing how templates are sent or managed.
-
Clean, readable layout
An optimised layout with SCSS styling presents the preview clearly, making templates easier to read and check while editing.
-
Fewer clicks for template work
Removing the extra popup step means template editing and review take fewer clicks, which speeds up day-to-day WhatsApp template management.
-
Lightweight and fast
The module is small and efficient, so it adds the preview panel without slowing down the Odoo interface.
-
No configuration required
There are no settings to complete. Once the module is installed, the preview is available on the template form straight away.
