# Create Batch

Batches allow you to approve, reject, cancel, or execute multiple transactions with a single action. 

When working with batches, you can follow this general procedure:

1. Create a batch 
2. Create a proposal as a draft 
3. Add transactions to the batch 
4. Activate the proposal 
5. Vote on the proposal 
6. Execute the proposal

## Example

```typescript
import * as multisig from "@sqds/multisig";
import { Connection, PublicKey } from "@solana/web3.js"

async function main(member: PublicKey) {
    // Cluster Connection
    const connection = new Connection("<your rpc url>");
    
    // If you've saved your createKey, you can define it as a static PublicKey
    const createKey = new PublicKey("<your createkey>")
    
    // Derive the multisig PDA
    const [multisigPda] = multisig.getMultisigPda({
        createKey,
    });
    // or
    // const multisigPda = new PublicKey("<your multisig key>");
    
    // Get deserialized multisig account info
    const multisigInfo = await multisig.accounts.Multisig.fromAccountAddress(
      connection,
      multisigPda
    );

    // Get the current transaction index
    const transactionIndex = Number(multisigInfo.transactionIndex);
    // or, if this is tied to your first transaction
    // const transactionIndex = 1n;
    
    // Create the batch, which we can add transactions to
    const batchCreateIx = await multisig.instructions.batchCreate({
        batchIndex: transactionIndex,
        creator: member,
        multisigPda,
        vaultIndex: 0,
        memo: "Creating a batch",
    });
    
    // Create the proposal for voting on the transactions
    const proposalCreateIx = await multisig.instructions.proposalCreate({
        multisigPda,
        // Created with the same index as the batch
        transactionIndex: transactionIndex,
        creator: member,
        // Proposal is created as a draft
        isDraft: true,
    });
}
```

### Notes

* Batches are for coupling multiple vault transactions under one proposal
* They have their own `transactionIndex` context, starting at 1
