A Whatsapp app is what connects your Whatsapp business number to your webhook (the main element of the experience: this is where you receive, process and send messages. ) and is where you configure various settings for the Whatsapp experience.
In this guide, you'll learn how to set up a Whatsapp app.
Before you begin, a few things will need to be created. Make sure you have all of the following:
Facebook Developer Account: Your developer account is needed to create new apps, which are the centerpiece of any Whatsapp integration. You can create a new developer account by logging into the Facebook https://developers.facebook.com/ developer website and clicking the "Get Started" button.
Facebook app: The Facebook app contains settings for your Whatsapp experience. To create a new app, visit the app dashboard by clicking "My Apps" in the top bar of the developer page.
