# Create Cashgram

> Create a single Cashgram from the Cashfree classic Payouts Dashboard or APIs and send the link to a customer to collect funds from your Payouts Account.

You can create Cashgrams through your Payouts Dashboard or from the APIs. Ensure you have sufficient balance in your Payouts Account before you create a Cashgram. The amount will be deducted from your Payouts Account to send money to your customers.

To create a Cashgram,

1. Go to **Payouts Dashboard** > **Cashgram** > **Cashgrams** > click **NEW CASHGRAM**.
2. Enter the **Cashgram Id**, **Customer Name**, **Amount** to be transferred, **Customer Phone**, and **Customer Email**. The Cashgram Id helps you to track the Cashgram status.
3. Select an **Expiry** date. The Cashgram link will not be valid beyond this date.
4. Enter the Remarks.
5. Select the checkbox **Send Cashgram Link via WhatsApp, Email, and SMS** **to user** to notify the customer.
6. Click **CREATE**. The Cashgram link is created and sent to the customer. The customer can access the link and provide the required details to receive the payment.

<Tip>
  You can also use our API to create Cashgrams. Check the API documentation for more details.
