  • Enter the number that you want to connect with WhatsApp.
  • Choose the verification method to receive the confirmation code sent by WhatsApp
  • Now enter the code in the current window space to finish the verification process.

For WhatsApp integration usage, you need access to the WhatsApp Business API. You can get your business registered with Meta’s WhatsApp business manager to get more functionalities in your business. You can add your name, profile, and other business profile details to finish the API setup.
After approval, get API credentials like Client ID, Secret Key, and Webhook URL. These credentials will be utilized for WhatsApp and GoHighLevel connection.

4.Set Up Templates and Automate Workflows

After integrating WhatsApp, you can set up new message templates for new automated messages. These will come in handy when a lead comes up in the platform and you are not available at the moment. The workflow will take care of it. To automate the workflow, you can navigate to automation in GHL, design a new workflow, and then save and activate it.

5.Enable Two-Way Messaging and Customize Chat
