Setting up WhatsApp number

Note that you can't use an existing phone number registered in your WhatsApp Business app. You will need a separate, dedicated phone number for Yazi to use WhatsApp that you can receive a call or OTP from. This is a limitation with WhatsApp's API.

Steps

1. Create a Meta Developer account (if you don't have one already): https://developers.facebook.com/docs/development/register

2. Signup in webapp at https://app.askyazi.com/register

3. Click 'Create New Organisation'

4. Write your company's name and click 'Create organisation'. This opens a Meta window that will allow you to create the WhatsApp profile
