# Create Templates

For Official WhatsApp numbers, if you want to contact customers who did not interact with you for over 24 hours, you must use approved templates to send a message.

### Two ways to create templates

{% content-ref url="create-templates/create-templates-facebook-business-manager" %}
[create-templates-facebook-business-manager](create-templates/create-templates-facebook-business-manager)
{% endcontent-ref %}

{% content-ref url="create-templates/create-templates-template-api" %}
[create-templates-template-api](create-templates/create-templates-template-api)
{% endcontent-ref %}
