Drop a random value into any message

Two new variables put a fresh one-off number or code into a broadcast, chat, template or automation — a different one for every recipient.


Released 23 July 2026

You can now add a fresh random value to any message that supports variables — perfect for a one-off code, a raffle number, or a value to pass into a WhatsApp Flow.

  • {{var.random}} — a fresh 6-digit number.
  • {{var.random_code}} — a fresh 8-character code (letters and digits).
  • Works anywhere variables do: a broadcast, a chat message, a template send, or an automation step. Both appear in the {{-variable picker under Other.
  • A different value for every recipient. In a broadcast the value is worked out for each contact as it sends, so no two people get the same one.

These are convenience values for personalisation, not secure one-time passwords.
