You scan a code with the WhatsApp app on your phone, like signing in to WhatsApp on a computer. Good for small teams and for trying TeleWhats with the number you already use.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Link Meta WhatsApp<\/strong>: the official WhatsApp Business Platform from Meta. Best for growing businesses that need approved message templates, larger campaigns and a verified business profile.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Option 1: Add WhatsApp by QR<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>In TeleWhats, open <strong>Add WhatsApp by QR<\/strong> from the <strong>Platform Quick Connect<\/strong> part of the left menu.<\/li>\n<li>A QR code appears on the screen.<\/li>\n<li>On your phone, open WhatsApp, go to <strong>Settings<\/strong> (or the three-dot menu), tap <strong>Linked devices<\/strong>, then <strong>Link a device<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Point your phone at the QR code on the screen.<\/li>\n<li>After a few seconds TeleWhats shows the number as connected, and new chats start appearing in your <strong>Inbox<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Keep your phone charged and online now and then, like any linked device. If you log out of linked devices on your phone, connect again with a new QR code.<\/p>\n<h2>Option 2: Link Meta WhatsApp<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Open <strong>Link Meta WhatsApp<\/strong> from the <strong>Platform Quick Connect<\/strong> part of the left menu.<\/li>\n<li>Log in with the Facebook account that manages your business.<\/li>\n<li>Choose or create your WhatsApp Business account, then add and verify the phone number you want to use. Meta sends a code to that number.<\/li>\n<li>Finish the steps in the Meta window. When it closes, your number shows as connected in TeleWhats.<\/li>\n<li>Send a test message to the number from another phone and check your <strong>Inbox<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>With the official platform, messages you start yourself, such as campaigns, use templates that Meta approves. Replies within 24 hours of a customer&#8217;s last message can be free-form.<\/p>\n<h2>Tips<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Use one WhatsApp number per purpose, for example one for sales and one for support, so your team knows where to look.<\/li>\n<li>Add your business hours and common questions in <strong>AI Training<\/strong> so customers get answers at night too.<\/li>\n<li>Only message people who agreed to hear from you.
