Connect your WhatsApp number in about 5 minutes.

Seven steps through Meta’s own signup window. Check you’re ready first, then tick off each step as you go. This page remembers where you are.

Before you start.

Two minutes now saves a failed setup later. The number question matters most.

You’ll need

Where is the number you’ll use, right now?

A new number, not on any WhatsApp app

Best option. You’re ready.

A number that isn’t on WhatsApp goes straight through. Have the phone nearby for the verification code.

On the WhatsApp Business app

Ready. You choose whether to keep the app.

During setup you pick one of two options. Keep the app: the number works in the WhatsApp Business app on your phone and in WaSparks at the same time. Or move fully to WaSparks: the number becomes API-only and stops working in the app, permanently.

On my personal WhatsApp

We don’t recommend it.

Keeping the app alongside WaSparks works only for numbers on the WhatsApp Business app. A personal number would work only through WaSparks. Most businesses use a separate number.

Already set up for the WhatsApp API

Ready, if it’s off the phone.

If the number is already on the API and no longer in a WhatsApp app on a phone, you can connect it straight away.

Connect, step by step.

Keep this page open next to Meta’s window. Tick each step when it’s done.

  1. Sign in to WaSparks

    Sign in and open the WhatsApp setup section. No account yet? Start 30 days free and you’ll land there.

  2. Click Connect WhatsApp

    Choose Connect WhatsApp. This starts Meta’s Embedded Signup, Meta’s own flow for connecting a number.

  3. A Meta window opens

    A secure window from Meta opens on top of WaSparks. Everything from here to step 7 happens inside it.

    Nothing opened? Allow pop-ups for app.wasparks.com and click Connect again.

  4. Log in with Facebook

    Use the Facebook account that manages your business.

    This account must be an admin on your business. If setup shows an error, this is the first thing to check.

  5. Choose your business and WhatsApp Business Account

    Pick your business, then select a WhatsApp Business Account (WABA), or create a new one right there.

  6. Choose your phone number

    Pick the number from the list, or add a new one. Meta sends a code by SMS or call to verify it.

    Number on the WhatsApp Business app? This is where you choose: keep using the app alongside WaSparks, or move the number fully to WaSparks. Moving fully stops the app working for it, permanently.

  7. Confirm

    Click Confirm. The window closes on its own and WaSparks shows your number, ready to send a test message.

Once you’re connected.

Send a test message

The test page opens right after setup. Send one to your own phone to see it arrive.

Open WaSparks

Check your account health

Your quality rating and messaging tier appear as soon as the number is live.

What account health shows

If something goes wrong.

I got an error during setup.

Check that you’re logged in to Meta with a Facebook account that’s an admin on your business, then try again. Still stuck? Write to hello@wasparks.com with a screenshot.

Can I use my personal WhatsApp number?

We don’t recommend it. Keeping the app alongside WaSparks is only for numbers on the WhatsApp Business app, so a personal number would work only through WaSparks.

I don’t have a WhatsApp Business Account.

That’s fine. You can create one during setup, in step 5.

Will the number still work in the WhatsApp Business app afterwards?

Your choice. During setup you can keep using the WhatsApp Business app alongside WaSparks, or move the number fully to WaSparks, in which case it stops working in the app.

Can I change the number later?

Yes. You can change your WhatsApp settings at any time.
