# New Send Template Node

Whenever you as a business want to initiate a WhatsApp conversation with your customers, you must use a WhatsApp message template.

We've released a new workflow node, the [*Send Template*](https://guides.clickatell.com/flow/action-nodes/send-template) node, that makes it easier to send a WhatsApp message template to end-users via Chat Flow. Previously, flow-builders had to configure API calls from Chat Flow to One API to trigger WhatsApp message templates. Now, it's as easy as dragging and dropping this node onto the canvas!

When adding the node to your workflow, Chat Flow does a lookup in the Clickatell Portal account and pulls in all information regarding your WhatsApp Business accounts, API integrations, and approved message templates so it is easy to select the specific template you want to add to the workflow.

The “Select a Template” dropdown displays all approved templates that are available in the selected account and integration. Selecting a template dynamically updates the required fields to match the template type and the number of variables it contains. <br>

## 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://guides.clickatell.com/release-notes/release-notes-archive/2023-release-notes/q4-2023/automated-messaging/new-send-template-node.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.
