# How to Link Your WhatsApp API Phone Number to a Facebook Page

Connect your WhatsApp Business API phone number to your Facebook Page for seamless customer interaction through buttons, contact info, and ads

## **Step 1: Submitting Your Connection Request**

To start the process of linking your WhatsApp API number to your Facebook Page, follow these steps:

1. Go to your Facebook Business Page.
2. From the Page management options, click on **Settings**.
3. In the Page Settings menu, choose **WhatsApp**.
4. Select your country code and input your WhatsApp API phone number.
5. Click **Continue**.

At this point, you'll be able to track the progress of your request, and if needed, cancel the connection request.

## **Step 2: Getting Your Request Approved**

The approval process depends on how your WhatsApp API channel is set up.

* **Standard flow (no access to WABA)**: If you don’t have direct access to your WhatsApp Business Account (WABA), you’ll need to get approval via support. Raise a ticket with the required details, such as:
  * Your Facebook Page Name.
  * Your WhatsApp API phone number and display name.
* **Embedded flow (access to WABA)**: If you do have access to your WhatsApp Business Account, you can approve the request directly through Facebook Business Manager. Here’s how:
  * Navigate to **Business Settings** in Facebook Business Manager.
  * Under **Requests**, go to **Received**, and click **Approve**.

To verify if the connection was successful, go to **Business Settings** > **Accounts** > **WhatsApp Accounts** > **Pages** in Facebook Business Manager.

## **Step 3: Activating WhatsApp Features**

After the connection is confirmed, you can enable the WhatsApp options on your Facebook Page:

1. Go back to your Facebook Business Page.
2. In the Manage Page section, click **Settings**.
3. Under Page Settings, select **WhatsApp**.
4. Toggle the options to:
   * Enable WhatsApp as an action button.
   * Display your WhatsApp number on your Page.

By following these steps, you’ll seamlessly integrate your WhatsApp API number with your Facebook Page

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://learn.doubletick.io/troubleshoot-errors/troubleshoot-common-whatsapp-api-errors/how-to-link-your-whatsapp-api-phone-number-to-a-facebook-page.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
