# Select Template

Kickstart your broadcast setup by choosing a template and channel. Select the channel for your broadcast and choose an existing template or create a new one.

The first step in the process of creating your first Broadcast is to select the [Template](#select-created-template) and then the [Channel](#select-the-channel).

### 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. [Guide](/gallabox-docs/basic-modules/whatsapp-template-guidelines.md) on how to create a WhatsApp Template.

{% 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.
