# Create Templates via AI for WhatsApp

To create AI-generated templates for WhatsApp using the platform described, follow this step-by-step guide:​

### Accessing the AI Template Builder

* Navigate to the templates page of your WhatsApp channel.
* Click on the AI template builder button.
* You will see a notice that using this service is chargeable, with deductions made from your channel wallet based on usage.

### Selecting Template Type

* After acknowledging the charge notice, you will see predefined template suggestions.
* Filter these suggestions by region, use case, or category (e.g., notifications, promotions).

### Creating a Notification Template (e.g., Appointment Reminder)

* Choose a category like notification and select a template, such as "appointment reminder."
* Customize the template by adding variables for customer name, service (e.g., web development), brand name, and date/time.
* Click “send” to generate the template using AI. The cost will be deducted from your channel wallet and shown on the platform.

### Adding More Functionality (e.g., Cancel Button)

* You can enhance interactivity by asking the AI to add more buttons (such as "Cancel Appointment").
* Each interaction with the AI might incur additional charges.

### Editing and Applying the Template

* Open the generated template in the editor for further customization if needed.
* The editor will suggest a name and allow you to select a category, though Meta (WhatsApp) will decide final template approval and category placement.
* Edit sample content or add an image header if desired, either in the editor or through the AI.

### Submitting and Tracking Charges

* Once finalized, apply the template for WhatsApp approval.
* All deductions for template generation are recorded in a special wallet log (distinct from general billing logs) for your reference.

### Creating Promotional Messages

* You can create promotional templates (e.g., for Christmas) by instructing the AI via prompt.
* Review, edit, and submit the new promotional message template as above.

### Key Points

* The entire process is streamlined with content suggestions, variable support, editor integration, and charge transparency.​
* All templates must be reviewed and approved by WhatsApp/Meta.
* All wallet deductions are only for AI template generation and are tracked separately.
