How trtWhats connects your number, step by step

This is the page we send to every prospect before a call. It covers the four connection methods, the paperwork, the timeline and the rules that keep your number safe.

How the automation works

Your next sale starts with a conversation.

  1. 01

    Customer acts

    An order, booking, payment or form submission happens on your store or system.

  2. 02

    trtWhats triggers

    The event hits our platform through an integration or webhook and matches a flow.

  3. 03

    Official message sent

    An approved template goes out from your verified WhatsApp number, with buttons and attachments.

  4. 04

    AI agent closes the loop

    Replies are answered from your knowledge base, routed to the shared inbox, or escalated to a person.

Connection methods

Four ways to connect WhatsApp, compared honestly

Not every business needs the full API on day one. Pick the method that matches your paperwork, your timeline and what you actually want to send.

Official Meta Cloud API (via trtWhats as BSP)

Recommended
What you need
  • A registered business (RC + ICE in Morocco, CR in KSA/UAE) and a Meta Business Portfolio
  • A phone number not currently active on WhatsApp, or one you're ready to migrate
  • A display name that matches your brand
How long it takes
Number live in 24–72 hours; Meta business verification can take 1–5 working days on top
What you get
  • Approved message templates with buttons, PDFs and tracking links
  • Unlimited agents on one number, automations, AI agent, campaigns
  • Eligibility for the verified (green) badge and higher messaging limits
What you cannot do
  • Send free-text outside the 24-hour customer service window (templates only)
  • Use the same number in the WhatsApp Business app unless coexistence is enabled (see method 3)
Best for
Any business that sends notifications, invoices or campaigns and wants zero ban risk

Business registration is only required for the official API methods. You can start with the QR link and migrate the same number later.

Activation, from first call to first message

  1. 1

    Day 0

    Consultation and method choice

    A 20-minute call to confirm your use case, volumes and sector. We recommend one of the four connection methods and list the exact documents you need.

  2. 2

    Day 0–1

    Meta Business Portfolio and documents

    You give us admin access to your Facebook Business Portfolio (or we create one). We submit RC/ICE or CR documents for business verification.

  3. 3

    Day 1–3

    Number registration on the Cloud API

    We register your number (new or migrated from the WhatsApp Business app), set the display name and profile, and send the confirmation code to your phone.

  4. 4

    Day 1–3

    Templates, flows and integrations

    We submit your first templates (order confirmation, invoice, reminders), connect your store or CRM, and build the AI knowledge base from your documents.

  5. 5

    Day 2–3

    Test on your own phone

    You receive the full flow on your personal WhatsApp: order placed, confirmation, PDF invoice, tracking link, AI reply. We fix wording until you're happy.

  6. 6

    Day 3+

    Go live and monitor

    We switch the number live and watch quality rating and messaging limits during the first week. Support in Arabic and French from then on.

FAQ

Good questions. Clear answers.

trtWhats never limits inbound or outbound conversations on the platform. Meta bills per delivered template message by category (marketing, utility, authentication) and by the recipient's country. Replies inside an open 24-hour customer service window are free until September 30, 2026; from October 1, 2026 Meta charges service messages beyond 1,000 free per number per month, and utility templates sent inside the window. Our plan limits only apply to campaign and notification volume.
