# Creating WhatsApp Messages

> Turn articles into broadcast-ready WhatsApp messages – review variants, edit, verify, and publish or schedule.

WhatsApp message creation in BeatSquares turns your articles, events, or press releases into broadcast-ready content. For each article you pick, BeatSquares generates three message variants. You can review them, edit, add images, and then either publish immediately or schedule for later.

<Note>
  WhatsApp messages can only be created inside a Square with the output format **WhatsApp Messages**. If you don't have one yet, see [Creating Squares](/core-features/creating-squares).
</Note>

## 1. Create a message

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open your WhatsApp Square">
    From the Dashboard, open the Square you want to post in.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click 'Create post'">
    Start a new message from the Square overview.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select an article">
    Choose the article you want to base your message on. Available articles depend on the categories configured in your Square.

    <Note>
      You can only select **one article or press release** per message. You can add multiple events.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate variants">
    Click **Create post** again to generate three message variants.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Creating polls

Polls are an alternative to regular messages – instead of broadcasting text, you ask your audience a question with multiple answer options that they can vote on directly in WhatsApp.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the poll creator">
    Click the **down arrow** next to **Create Message** and select **Create Poll**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select an article and generate">
    Pick the article you want to base the poll on, then click **Generate**. BeatSquares creates a poll question and answer options from the article.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Adjust the options">
    Review the generated question and answers. Add or remove options as needed.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify">
    When you're happy with the poll, click **Verify**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

After verifying, you can publish or schedule the poll the same way as a regular message.

## 2. Review variants

BeatSquares automatically generates three variants per article, each with a different tone, length, or angle. Click on the post title to open it, then switch between **Var 1**, **Var 2**, and **Var 3** to compare.

### The fact viewer

While reviewing, BeatSquares highlights important facts in both the source article and the generated message:

* **Names** – people, organizations, entities
* **Places** – locations, cities, regions
* **Figures** – numbers, statistics, dates

Hover over any highlighted text to see where it appears on the other side. This bidirectional highlighting helps you quickly verify that key
