### 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.

{% hint style="info" %}
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.&#x20;
