Getting started

Connect your WhatsApp Business app number

Keep chatting on your phone as usual, and send campaigns and reply from Sendmint with the same number.

  1. Step 1: Check what you need

    A Facebook account, the WhatsApp Business app (not regular WhatsApp) on your phone with the number you want to use, and that phone near you. The app must be updated to the latest version.

    Don't link your number to a Facebook Page before connecting. Meta can move it to another account and block the connection. You can link a Page later from WhatsApp Manager.
