### Select Created Template

If you have already created a message template then you can click on **Select** button besides the template. You will be redirected to choosing the audience for the broadcast. If you haven't created any template for the Broadcast, Click on **"+New Template"** to create one for the campaign.

It is recommended to create the WhatsApp Template beforehand as it takes ample amount of time to get verified and can be used after 15 minutes of approval.
