# On Template Delivered
Learn how to use the On Template Delivered trigger in Bot Studio to automatically reply when a customer clicks a button on your template, and how to run one bot across multiple WhatsApp numbers.
Sometimes you send a WhatsApp template with buttons, such as "Interested" and "Not interested," and then reply to each customer by hand. The **On Template Delivered** trigger does this for you. When a customer clicks a button on your template, your bot starts automatically and sends the right reply. This article explains how to set it up, even if you have never built a bot before, and how to use one bot for all your WhatsApp numbers.

#### What is the On Template Delivered trigger
A trigger is the event that starts a bot. With **On Template Delivered**, the event is a customer clicking a button on a template you sent.
For example, you send a template that asks "Are you interested in this offer?" with two buttons, "I am interested" and "No more." If the customer clicks "No more," the bot replies "Thank you for confirming." If the customer clicks "I am interested," the bot sends a second template with pricing and booking details. You do not have to reply to anyone yourself.
This works well for sales follow-ups, appointment confirmations, and lead qualification, anywhere you want customers to answer with a simple click like Yes/No or Confirm/Cancel.
Only templates with quick reply buttons can be used here. Quick reply buttons are the buttons that let a customer answer with one tap.
#### How to set it up in Bot Studio
* Create a WhatsApp template with quick reply buttons, for example "I am interested," "No more," or "Contact me later."
* Open **Bot Studio** in DoubleTick and create a new bot.
* In the triggers list, select **On Template Delivered**.
* Click **Select template** and choose the template you want to use.
* Link each button to an action. Click the dot under a button, drag it to an action block such as **Send Message** or **Send Template**, and add the reply for that button.
* Click **Save**.
* Turn on the **toggle** to activate the bot, and give it a name so you can find it later.
Your bot is now live. Whenever a customer clicks one of the buttons, the reply for that button is sent automatically.
#### Use one bot for multiple WhatsApp numbers (**New)**
{% embed url="" %}
If your business has more than one WhatsApp number, you no longer need to build a separate bot for each one. The same bot can now work across all the numbers where your template is available.
* When you click **Select template**, each template shows the number of numbers (channels) it is approved on, for example "Approved on 32 of 53 channels."
* Hover over a template to see its status on each number, such as Approved, Pending, or Not created.
* After you choose a template that is not approved everywhere, a pop-up appears. It says something like "This bot will work on only 33 of 53 channels." This means the bot will run only on the numbers where the template is approved, and it will not run on the others.
* Click **Continue** to go ahead with those numbers. Or click **Manage templates** to create the template on the missing numbers first, so the bot can cover more of them.
* Once you continue, the trigger shows how many numbers the bot covers, for example **Bot for 33 Channels**.
Bots you built earlier with the old On Template Delivered block are not affected. They keep working exactly as before, and only new bots use the multi-channel version.
#### What the template statuses mean
When you hover over a template, you see one of these statuses for each number.
* **Approved**: The template is ready on this number, and the bot will work here. You do not need to do anything.
* **Pending**: META is still reviewing the template on this number. Wait for the review to finish, then it will work.
* **Not created**: You have not made this template on this number yet. Click **Manage templates** to create it.
#### Key takeaways
* **On Template Delivered** starts a bot automatically when a customer clicks a button on your template.
* You can reply differently to each button, so every customer gets the right follow-up.
* One bot can now work across multiple WhatsApp numbers, so you do not need a separate bot for each.
* The bot runs only on the numbers where your template is approved.
* Old bots keep working as before, and new bots use the multi-channel version.
* Only templates with quick reply buttons can be used with this trigger.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://learn.doubletick.io/bot-studio/triggers/on-template-delivered.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
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.
