When creating a template, users need to first select the template type, fill in the template name, and choose the template language

Then, users can set the template content (selecting titles, bodies, footers, and buttons)

In addition, users can set templates in multiple languages, edit template names, switch template types, and preview templates.&#x20;

Once users finish editing their message template, they should click the submit button to initiate WhatsApp's official template review and approval process.

* Uploading recipient lists
* Downloading the recipient Excel template

After completing the setup, users can preview the message rendering and either:
