# Get your business manager verified

To use WhatsApp at scale through the Yazi platform, you’ll need to verify your **Meta Business Manager**. This is a mandatory step to:

* **Send over 250 message templates per day**
* **Access Flows and automation features**
* **Appear more legitimate to respondents** (your business name will be shown instead of a random number)
* **Prevent account shutdowns or limitations**

> 📌 *Meta will not allow scale messaging (e.g. sending multiple survey invitations per day) until this verification is complete.*

***

### Why Verification Helps

Once verified, your business can:

* Use **250+ message templates per 24 hours**, unlocking scale.
* Access advanced tools like **WhatsApp Flows**, message automation, and template scheduling.
* Build **trust and credibility** with customers through a branded, verified profile.
* Avoid account restrictions and protect your number from being disabled due to policy non-compliance.

### Steps to Verify Your Business Manager

1. **Go to Meta Business Settings**\
   Open your business settings here:\
   👉 [Meta Business Info Settings](https://business.facebook.com/settings/info)
2. **Locate Your Business Manager**\
   Make sure you're in the correct Business Manager that owns your WhatsApp number.
3. **Upload Required Documents**\
   Provide documents that confirm your **legal business name** and **business address or phone number**.

   **Accepted documents include:**

   * Certificate of Incorporation / Business Registration

   * Government-Issued Business Tax Document (e.g. tax certificate)

   * Business Bank Statement

   * Utility Bill (must show the legal business name for address/phone verification – not valid for legal name alone)

   > 📎 *Ensure documents are up-to-date and issued by a recognised authority. Self-filled forms or drafts are not accepted.*
4. **Wait for Meta Approval**\
   Approval typically takes 1–3 business days. You’ll receive a notification once verified.
5. **Return to Yazi Platform**\
   After verification, you can complete your WhatsApp setup and start sending templates or launching automated flows.
