Step 5 of 6 · Connect
Connect your WhatsApp number.
One button, then Meta's own window. Two to three minutes, and you come straight back to your chat.
What happens in that window
- You log in to Facebook and pick or create your business.
- You add the phone number your bot will use, and verify it by SMS or call.
- You add a payment method so Meta can bill you for messages your business sends.
- You approve the permissions Botsmith needs to send and receive on that number.
Use a number that is not on WhatsApp today. A number already registered on the WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business app has to be deleted from it first.
The account stays yours. Your card sits on your WhatsApp Business Account, Meta bills you at their rates, and Botsmith adds nothing.
Opens Meta's official signup. Botsmith never sees your Facebook password.

Meta's window is open in another tab. Finish there and this page updates itself.
