Setup guide

Connect your own WhatsApp

Send from your own WhatsApp Business Account, on your own brand name. Here is the full setup, step by step, exactly as it appears inside the WASP app.

This page is a walkthrough only — you complete these steps inside the WASP app.

A Meta Business account

You'll work in Meta Business Manager to create or select your WhatsApp Business Account (WABA).

A dedicated phone number

The number you use for API messaging can't be used in the normal WhatsApp mobile app on that same line.

Billing + verification

A payment method in Meta and completed business verification keep your sending uninterrupted.

Step 1 / 7

Connect your WhatsApp Business Account

Open Meta Business Manager and go to the WhatsApp Accounts page to use an existing account or create a new one.

Meta → WhatsApp Accounts
Open Meta Business Suite ↗
Step 2 / 7

Use an existing account or create a new one

Choose an existing WhatsApp Business Account, or create a new one if you need to. We recommend using the Use Display Name option when Meta asks. If you want to use an Egyptian number, it must not already be on regular WhatsApp. The number you use for API messaging cannot be used in the normal WhatsApp mobile app on that same line, plan for a dedicated business number.

Step 3 / 7

Add billing and complete verification

After your WhatsApp account exists, add a payment method in Meta and complete business verification if you have not already. Both help avoid interruptions when you start sending messages.

Step 4 / 7

Invite WASP as a partner

In your WhatsApp account, open the Partners section and invite us using this business ID.

Step 5 / 7

Paste your WhatsApp Account ID

After you invite us as a partner, copy your WhatsApp Business Account ID from Meta and paste it below. We only need this ID for now — we'll finish the technical connection on our side.

Step 6 / 7

Start sending messages now

Your WhatsApp templates are under review by Meta. You can start sending messages immediately using WASP, and we'll automatically switch to your own WhatsApp once your templates are approved.

What should happen now?

Pause messaging for now

Wait until your templates are approved before sending any messages.

Step 7 / 7

You're all set

Your WhatsApp account is connected. We'll keep preparing templates in the background and switch sending automatically once Meta approves them.

Setup complete

You can close this window and return to Settings anytime to check template status or messaging controls.
