What You'll Learn

In this tutorial you'll learn:

Understand the three ways to connect a WhatsApp Business Account
Know which option to use for your situation
Find where connected WABAs and their phone numbers appear

Prerequisites

Before you start:

A Vaaniq account

Step-by-Step Guide

Open WABA Accounts

Dashboard → WABA Accounts → Add Account

From the sidebar, go to WABA Accounts and click Add Account. You'll see three connection options.

Vaaniq sidebar with WABA Accounts highlighted — Open WABA Accounts from the sidebar.

WABA Accounts page with the Connect Token, Create New and Add Account buttons highlighted — The three connection options are separate buttons: Connect Token, Create New, and Add Account (Embedded Signup).

Choose Embedded Signup (recommended)

Meta's guided popup flow. It walks you through logging into Facebook, picking or creating a Business Manager, and connecting (or purchasing) a phone number — all in one flow. This is the right choice for almost everyone. See the dedicated Embedded Signup tutorial for the full step-by-step walkthrough.

Or Connect with Token (developers/testing)

Paste a Meta Graph API access token and WABA ID directly. This is a developer shortcut for testing — it needs a narrower permission than full Embedded Signup, but it's not the recommended path for a first-time production connection.

Connect with Token dialog with Meta Access Token and WABA ID fields — Connect Token asks for an access token and WABA ID.

Or Create New WABA

If you already have a Meta Business Manager but no WhatsApp Business Account yet, this provisions a brand-new WABA under it directly from Vaaniq.

Create New WABA dialog with Business ID, WABA Name, Currency, Timezone ID and Access Token fields — Create New provisions a WABA under an existing Meta Business.

Manage a connected WABA

Once connected, each WABA appears as a card showing its business name, WABA ID, currency, timezone, and Meta review status. From the card you can Diagnose (check token/permission health), Sync (pull the latest data from Meta), Edit, or Disconnect.
