Obtaining a WhatsApp number
Obtaining a WhatsApp for Business Number
You need to have a Facebook Business account to connect your phone number to WhatsApp for Business.
Make sure that this Facebook Business account belongs to your organisation. If you have done this, please send us the Facebook Business Manager ID:
- Go to your Company settings https://business.facebook.com/settings/info
- under the Information about Business Manager you can see the ID number
After we have the ID we can validate it and if it is correct we can onboard you with WhatsApp.
What happens after you provided us your Facebook Business Manager Account ID?
- One of our WhatsApp for Business Solution Providers will onboard your company and WhatsApp number
- At that moment you will receive a message in your FBM, we will inform you when this is done
- After that go to your Facebook Business Manager:https://business.facebook.com/settings/requests/received_requests
- Accept the WhatsApp notification (make sure you have the “Admin” role when you login)
Your company details need to be verified by Facebook. When this is done your WhatsApp account will go in final approval.
After the account is approved we can schedule the registration. WhatsApp will make a phone call to your phone number and then you need to pick up the phone directly. A 6 digit code will be spoked out and you would need that code entered directly.
