What You'll Learn

In this tutorial you'll learn:

  • Understand why opt-in consent matters
  • Toggle a contact's opt-in status
  • Generate a shareable opt-in link

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Check or set a contact's opt-in status

Open a contact's detail view to see whether they've opted in, and toggle the status if you have a verifiable record of their consent.

2

Collect consent with an opt-in link

Dashboard → Settings → Opt-in Links

Generate a shareable opt-in link or an embeddable website button. When someone confirms consent through it, they're added straight to your Contacts as opted-in.

Important

WhatsApp requires clear, verifiable opt-in that names your business — never message purchased, scraped, or harvested contact lists.
