Connect WhatsApp Business — embedded or manual

WhatsApp connection is separate from Facebook. Path: WhatsApp Tools → Connect, then either Embedded Signup or Manual Credentials.

Open Connect from the sidebar

1. Expand WhatsApp Tools in the sidebar.
2. Click Connect (green WhatsApp icon).
3. Confirm both Embedded Signup and Manual Credentials tabs appear.
4. Use one tab per attempt — mixing methods saves incomplete data.

Embedded Signup (recommended)

1. Open Embedded Signup until the one-click card appears.
2. Click the green Connect WhatsApp button.
3. Finish Meta’s window with the correct business, WABA, and number.
4. Back in ChatLik, confirm the number shows connected, then enable the bot.

Manual credentials — field by field

1. Paste Phone Number ID from WhatsApp Manager → Phone numbers → Profile.
2. Paste WABA ID from WhatsApp Manager → Account settings.
3. Paste the Access Token from your Meta app — blurred in screenshots.
4. Registration code (6 digits) is optional unless Meta asks (#131010).
5. Click Save & Connect and wait for success before leaving.
