How to Connect Your New WhatsApp Number

This tutorial accompanies the support video provided to help you create your WhatsApp Business account and enable all required Meta permissions for integration with your Patagon AI Agent.


Prerequisites Before You Begin

To ensure the process works correctly, you must have:

  • An active phone number not linked to any other chatbot, API, or WhatsApp account

  • The physical SIM card installed in a smartphone

  • Access to the smartphone to receive the SMS verification code from Meta

Without access to the SMS code, the process cannot be completed.


🚀 Start the Process

Access the onboarding link:

👉 https://auth.patagon.ai/onboardingarrow-up-right

When you click:

  1. Confirm that you have already accepted the invitation to access the Patagon AI platform

  2. The page will open automatically

  3. Select your organization from the displayed list

  4. Click Continue


Start the WhatsApp Embedded Signup

On the next screen, click the blue button:

WhatsApp Embedded Signup

A Meta window will open for authentication:

  • Click Continue as [your name]

  • Then click Get Started


Business Manager Configuration

Meta will display the available business assets. Select your Business Portfolio (if you have multiple BMs, choose the correct one). Proceed to create the required assets:

  • Create WhatsApp Business Account (WABA)

  • Create WhatsApp Business Profile


Application & Display Names

WhatsApp Business Account (WABA) Name

Use the following naming standard:

COMPANY NAME — PATAGON AI

This name is for internal identification and future support.

Display Name

This is the name visible to your customers. It must:

  • Follow Meta’s Display Name Policies

  • Represent your business clearly

Select your business category (industry/segment).


Enter & Validate Your Phone Number

In the phone number field:

  • Enter the number that will be used by the Agent

  • The number must not be in use on standard WhatsApp or any other system

After entering the number:

  1. Choose SMS verification

  2. Enter the code received on the smartphone containing the SIM card

If everything is correct, Meta will confirm:

Phone number successfully linked

Click Finish.


Integration Status

After completing these steps, the integration will be created inside Meta and will only require final connection on the Patagon AI side.
