Wawp Sender Settings Tutorial

In this article, we will review the Sender Settings so that you can send via WhatsApp, email, etc.

• WhatsApp Web (via your number)
• WhatsApp Meta (limited Business API for some services)
• Email (via SMTP)
• Block Manager

WhatsApp Web settings

This method allows you to link the WhatsApp number associated with the WhatsApp app on your regular phone or the WhatsApp Business app to send directly and at a lower cost. Recommended to use the WhatsApp Business app because it has proven to be more effective and the connection method is the same as when connecting to WhatsApp Web. First, activate the WhatsApp Web feature from Sender settings within the Wawp plugin.

Add your WhatsApp

You can link your number directly from within your website.

• Scan QR Code: This method allows you to link your WhatsApp number by scanning the QR code on your website to connect directly.
• Connect by Code: This method is faster if you do not have a phone or cannot use the QR code or connect a phone number to your customer. In this method, you need the number that you will connect to your system.
• Add Manually: This method is common if you have previously connected your phone number via Wawp.net and want to link your number. You can just paste a custom name from your own and the installation ID and access token from the system (Find these in your Wawp API Console).

You can refer to this article if you want to use the add feature manually How to Connect Your WhatsApp Number to Wawp.
