Connect WhatsApp Business to EmirVoice

EmirVoice connects directly to Meta's WhatsApp Cloud API — no relay, no middleman.

What you need

• A Meta Business Account
• A WhatsApp Business Account (WABA)
• A phone number you control (or get a free Meta test number to start)

Steps

1. Open the dashboard → Messenger → WhatsApp → "Connect with Meta"
2. Sign in to Facebook with the account that owns your business
3. Pick the WABA and phone number
4. Approve permissions: messages, calling, templates, business management
5. You're connected. EmirVoice writes the webhook URL automatically — no copy-pasting required.

Test it

Send a message to your number from your personal WhatsApp. The AI replies within 2-3 seconds.

Common issues

• "No phone numbers available": your WABA has no verified number yet. Add one in Meta Business Manager first.
• "Display name not approved": Meta is reviewing. Usually 24h. Calls/messages still work, just shows the number instead of your business name.
• No reply to test message: check the assistant is set to "active" and the WhatsApp config has assistant_id set.

Voice calls on WhatsApp

After connecting, voice calls are auto-enabled. Customers can call your business from inside WhatsApp. The AI picks up just like a normal call.
