How do I get access to the WhatsApp Business API?
Prepare the correct Meta business portfolio, WhatsApp Business Account, business-owned phone number and display name, then complete the platform connection and number verification. DripTell guides the operational setup after the Meta assets are ready.
Do I need business verification before using WhatsApp Business API?
Meta determines the verification and messaging requirements for each account. It is best to keep the legal business identity, website, administrator access and supporting records consistent before beginning setup.
Can an existing WhatsApp number be connected?
It depends on the number's current WhatsApp setup and the migration path supported by Meta. Review the number before changing anything so conversation access and business ownership are not disrupted.
