Imposible to whisper a macro in chat

Hi all. I can't whisper an API button in chat. I've created some macros to remind myself of the effects of some actions monsters do and I'd like to see them in chat after clicking the API button, but the message is public to all players (instead the / w gm command is written in the macro). In fact, that same macro does appear whispered in the chat if I activate it from a handout. Any ideas what I don't do well? Is there a way to send a hidden macro to chat by clicking API button? I hope I have explained myself correctly.

Can you post one of the macros you have tried to whisper to chat?
Of course. The macro where I need the API button is this: /w gm &{template:default} {{name=Spider-poison}} {{Effect=A Poisoned character is falls to the ground paralysed after a number of rounds equal to his Body or Heart rating, whichever is higher, in addition to suffering from the normal effects of being [Poisoned](! #Poisoned). The effects of Spider-poison wear off after one full day.}} No problem with this. But when I click on the button "Poisoned", the message in the chat is visible to everyone and that's what I don't want to happen. I want the macro "Poisoned" to be whispered to GM. When I test the macro, it works propperly. No idea where the error is. The poisoned macro is this: /w gm &{template:default} {{name=Poisoned}} {{Effect=A Poisoned character is considered to be Wounded. Thus, if an already Poisoned character is Wounded once, he falls unconscious as if Wounded twice (likewise, a Wounded character falls unconscious when Poisoned). Different poisons may provoke different additional effects. A Poisoned character remains as such until a proper remedy is applied, or the effects of the particular poison affecting him wear off.}}
Here a screenshot when I test the macro. It works properly. Here a screenshot after clicking the pink button. The macro isn't whispered.

Try this; /w gm &{template:default} {{name=Spider-poison}} {{Effect=A Poisoned character is falls to the ground paralysed after a number of rounds equal to his Body or Heart rating, whichever is higher, in addition to suffering from the normal effects of being [Poisoned](! /w gm #Poisoned). The effects of Spider-poison wear off after one full day.}}
Yes! That's what I was looking for. Thank you very much, Vince!
