Connecting Your WhatsApp Business Account
How to link your Meta WhatsApp Business Account to WBMSG so your team can start messaging.
Before You Begin
You need a Meta Business Account and a WhatsApp Business Account (WABA) before connecting to WBMSG. If you do not have these yet, create them at business.facebook.com.
Step 1 — Connect Your WABA
- Open the onboarding checklist (shown after signup)
- Click 'Connect WhatsApp Business Account'
- The ConnectWhatsApp modal opens — follow the Meta Embedded Signup flow to authorize WBMSG to access your WABA
Step 2 — Provision Your Phone Number
- After connecting your WABA you are taken to the Provision Phone Number page
- Click 'Open Meta Business Manager' to add or verify your phone number in Meta
- Once your number is verified and ready, return to WBMSG and click 'Number is ready — continue'
⚠️Your phone number must be verified in Meta Business Manager before clicking 'Number is ready — continue'. Skipping this step will prevent messages from being sent or received.
