# Create The WhatsApp Form

## Create A Message Template

Before creating a form, you must first create or have a message template. A message template is the message that will be sent after the form is submitted.

To create one, go to the **Message Templates** menu and click the **Add Message Template** button.

Create a title for your message template as your reference. Then, create the messages. Click the save button after you are done. As example:

After you save the message template, make sure you change its status to **Active**.&#x20;
