  Choose when the alert should be sent, such as **Booking Created, Updated, Cancelled, or Reminder**.
* **WhatsApp Channel:**\
  Select the connected **WhatsApp channel** from which the message will be sent.
* **Template Selection:**\
  Choose an **approved WhatsApp template** from your channel.\
  If needed, create a template in the **Channel section** first.

  Fill in the required variables such as **Name, Phone Number, Email**, or other booking details.

#### Notification Preferences

Select who should receive the alert:

* **Admin**
* **Host**
* **Attendee**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://helpdocumentation.gitbook.io/user/calendar-bookings/set-up-whatsapp-alerts-in-calendar-booking.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
