Getting Started
Get up and running with the WaBus WhatsApp Business Platform in minutes
Prerequisites
- A verified Meta Business Manager account.
- A clean phone number that does not have an active WhatsApp personal or business app account.
- A registered WaBus account to manage key settings.
Step 1: Create Your Account
Sign up for a free account at the registration page. Follow the email link to confirm your billing email and details.
Step 2: Connect Your WhatsApp Number
Navigate to Settings → Phone Numbers in the WaBus panel and start the Embedded Sign-up wizard. Log in to Meta, select your Business Manager account, and verify the display number via SMS or voice call code.
Step 3: Create Message Templates
To initiate outbound messages to customers outside the 24-hour customer support window, you must use approved Meta templates. Go to Templates → Create New Template, define your variables, and submit them for review. Meta approvals usually take under 2 minutes.
Step 4: Send Your First Message
Generate a secure API key from your profile dashboard under Open API Settings, locate your from_number_id, and trigger a POST request:
// Example API call using JavaScript Fetch
fetch('https://app.wabus.in/api/open/official/messages/send', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY',
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
body: JSON.stringify({
"from_number_id": "YOUR_NUMBER_UUID",
"to": "+919274158971",
"message_type": "template",
"template_name": "welcome_alert",
"template_language": "en"
})
