Connect WhatsApp

Prepare the Meta side first, gather the required credentials, and then connect the WhatsApp Business channel from bot settings.

Use this guide when the flow is ready and you want to connect the WhatsApp number customers should message.

Prepare the Meta side first

  • Create or use an existing Meta Business account.
  • Create a Meta developer app and add the WhatsApp product.
  • Accept the required WhatsApp setup terms in the Meta dashboard.

Collect the credentials you will paste

  • Phone Number ID for the connected WhatsApp number.
  • WABA ID for the WhatsApp Business Account.
  • Access Token with the access needed for connection.

The settings dialog walks through the same sequence: Meta setup, credential collection, then the final connection step.

After the channel is connected

Once connected, WhatsApp becomes one of the live channels shown for the bot. Publish the latest draft before traffic starts if you still have unpublished flow changes.

Deploy order

A good sequence is: finish the draft, preview it, publish it, then connect or verify the live channel.
