Before you connect
Questions about WhatsApp Business.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
Can I use the WhatsApp Business MCP to send bulk notifications?
Yes, you can use this to send pre-approved templates to your customers. It's the standard way to handle high-volume notifications while staying compliant with platform rules.
Does the WhatsApp Business MCP work for personal accounts?
No, this Connector is specifically for the WhatsApp Business Platform. It's designed for companies that need to manage profiles, templates, and high-volume customer communication.
How do I check my account status without logging into Meta?
You can ask your agent to pull your WABA details or business profile. It retrieves the latest metadata directly so you don't have to open a new tab.
Can my agent delete old templates for me?
Yes, your agent can list all your current templates and delete the ones you no longer need. This helps keep your messaging library organized and easy to navigate.
What happens when I send a text message through the Connector?
When you use the text capability, your agent sends a direct message to a customer. This usually works best when you're already in an active conversation window.
How do I find my Phone Number ID and WABA ID?
Log in to your Meta App Dashboard, select your app, and navigate to WhatsApp > Getting Started. You will find both IDs and your Access Token there.
Can I send messages to any WhatsApp user?
You can send pre-approved templates at any time. However, to send free-text messages, the user must have interacted with your business in the last 24 hours.
What happens if a message template is not approved?
Unapproved templates cannot be sent via the API. You can check the status of your templates using the list_message_templates capability to verify their readiness.
