Sender IDs & WABA Onboarding
Every WhatsApp number your organisation sends from is registered as a Sender ID, connected through Meta's embedded signup flow.
Requires the WhatsApp module.
Connecting a WhatsApp Business Account
- Go to Settings → Communication → Sender ID.
- Click + New WhatsApp Sender ID.
- Complete Meta's embedded signup flow to connect your WhatsApp Business Account (WABA) — no manual API key exchange required.
- Once connected, the number is available to Campaigns, Team Inbox, Flows and Bots.
Per-number settings
Each connected number has its own settings:
- Greeting message — sent automatically to a new conversation.
- Out-of-service message — sent outside your configured availability.
- Auto-save unknown numbers — automatically create a contact for anyone who messages a number that isn't already in your contacts.
Managing sender IDs
Enable or disable a sender ID's status at any time. A disabled sender ID stops sending and receiving, but its message history and templates remain intact.
Tips
- Set a greeting message for every number in active use — it's often the only signal a customer gets that their message went through.
- Turn on auto-save for numbers used for inbound customer contact, so new conversations don't fall outside your CRM.
