3. Fill in the following:

* **Template Typ**e – Auto-set to Pre-Chat or Post-Chat depending on the parent questionnaire.
* **Template** – Choose an existing WhatsApp/Twilio template. (Only the templates with option button are currently supported.)
* **Title** – e.g., “Issue Type”
* **Questionnaire –** Auto-linked to the selected questionnaire.
* **Message (Locked**) – Auto-filled with the text from the selected WhatsApp template. Not editable here.
* **Media URL (Locked**) – If included in the template (image/video/audio), auto-filled and non-editable.
* **Map Response** – Link the user's reply to a CRM field (e.g., Contact.Phone or Lead.ProductInterest)\
  If the default create record is set for the questionnaire, then, when a new record is created, the response is auto filled in this field.

4. Click **Save**, then Publish the template.

End-to-End Chat Flow Example

* **Customer sends a message →** Triggers **Pre-Chat Questionnaire**.

<figure><img src="/files/Mo343zO49vGP9LPeL7mc" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

• Questions are sent in sequence using WhatsApp templates.

<figure><img src="/files/6JhkryJGJ80ljqjvPHy9" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* Chat status is **Bot Conversation** until all pre-chat questions are answered.
* A **Fallback Template** is sent to confirm if the user wants to talk to an agent.
* User replies “**Yes**” → Agent gets option to **accept** the chat.

* **If no Agent Join Confirmation template is configured**, the system still prompts the agent to **accept the chat** after the final pre-chat message.

* Click "**Close Chat Session**".

**This is how the Post-Chat response appears in the agent's view**:

* The agent can see the **feedback template** that was sent.
