I am not able to add any phone number in Whatsapp Manager. about whatsapp-business-api-setup-scripts HOT 27 CLOSED

why facebook want to make thing so complicated?

from whatsapp-business-api-setup-scripts.

Why I am not able to generate a certificate for verification.

from whatsapp-business-api-setup-scripts.

@manfye With the recent implementation of the cloud API and you want to call the APIs directly from your application, the certificate is not required anymore. The certificate is required only if you are integrating with third-party service providers like twilio. Learned this the hard way.

This guy has made a good video of how to setup WhatsApp business Cloud API. Hope it is of some help to anyone coming here.

I've applied to this and I haven't received an email from them. Why is this so complicated?

from whatsapp-business-api-setup-scripts.

This is how I overcame this problem. If you have any issues, command will print them.

curl -i -X POST https://graph.facebook.com/v16.0/{phone number id}/register -H 'Authorization: Bearer {your token}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{ "pin": "{you make up 6 digit pin}", "messaging_product": "whatsapp"}'

FULL SOLUTION - Correct as of 09/05/2024

I have managed to verify my number and also move it from Pending to Connected without having to download the cert

Pre-req: First add your number to your WhatsApp Business account via the UI here https://business.facebook.com/wa/manage/home/

1: Get your Phone Number ID

Please ENSURE you're using the correct WABA-ID (the one your phone number is registered on, not your test account ID)

#59 (comment)

https://graph.facebook.com/v19.0/{{WABA-ID}}/phone_numbers

2. Request Verification Code

POST 'https://graph.facebook.com/v19.0/{{PHONE-NUMBER-ID}/request_code?ode_method=VOICE&language=en'
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/solution-providers/phone-numbers/registering-phone-numbers/

3. Verify using the Code (received above)

POST https://graph.facebook.com/v19.0/{{PHONE-NUMBER-ID}}/verify_code?code={{VERIFY-CODE}}
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/solution-providers/phone-numbers/registering-phone-numbers/

4. FINALLY - Register the Phone number
   I know this sounds back to front, but this is the last step to set the number as Connected

POST https://graph.facebook.com/v19.0/{{PHONE-NUMBER-ID}}/register
BODY { "pin": "{{make a 6 digit pin to go here}}", "messaging_product": "whatsapp"}

Thanks man. If anyone wondering where to find the phone number id, it's in one of facebook request payloads in the "Getting started" section.

from whatsapp-business-api-setup-scripts.

If the business account had been working with a BSP, but now migrated to cloud API so there is no more intermediary why the business cant get the base64 certificate directly and expects this to be done by a BSP?

This worked. Thanks!! If you turn off 2FA then follow this to turn it on again, the display name on the phone number will be changed to whatever you attempted to change it to without having to download any certificates.

Hi there,

You should have been working with a Business Solutions Provider to get access to this WhatsApp Business Account? They are the ones who will register the account for you (by downloading the certificate).

Can you share with me account details? You can email me at [email protected]

from whatsapp-business-api-setup-scripts.

Thanks for your kind reply. But the thing is... we just want to becoming a solution provider. Is there any solution to this?

Hi @abhiram1673, we are also facing the same issue. Were you able to troubleshoot this?

from whatsapp-business-api-setup-scripts.

@bhargavweb thank you, I will go to explore it further

Hi, I have a business account and also can open the "Whatsapp Manager" page. But the challenge is I can't add any phone number in Whatsapp Manager. Here goes the error message.

"The certificate is not available for your business. Only the business solution provider who manages integration with the WhatsApp business platform will be able to download the certificate."

I hit google to find any solutions for this, but there is none, even I am not sure how to make my account as business solution provider. So please let me know how I can add phone numbers and use the Whatsapp business API. Many thanks!

Adding my account details in snapshot as attachment.

I am experiencing the same thing and for the life of me I don't know what to do.

This was very helpful, disabling the 2FA did the trick!!

@ataknakbulut the process will allow to change the name, not download the certificate.

Hey @TheGlauberr

You're best follow these docs to get a Bearer token

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/business-management-api/get-started#1--acquire-an-access-token-using-a-system-user-or-facebook-login

You can get a Temp token via the Quickstart Section in your App page or a Permanent Token by creating a system token
