To set up and connect your Official WhatsApp for Business account to Peakflo, please follow the steps below:
Firstly, if your company does not have a Meta Business Manager, check out this link to see how you can set it up.
1. Verify your Meta Business Manager account

- Note: If you're unable to find your business on step 2 of Meta business verification, you may be asked to upload official documents to prove you have a registered business. Please view this link for more information.
- Disclaimer: Please note that all decisions related to business verification and display name approvals are solely controlled by Meta and we have limited visibility to their decisions. You may experience delays from Meta that can take up to 15-30 days. Twilio will work actively with Meta to resolve the delays on your behalf.
