Connect your WhatsApp to Zvani AI — the Coexistence setup.

This is the Coexistence setup. You keep using WhatsApp on your phone for business as usual — and Zvani replies on your behalf, on the same number. Takes a few minutes.

Want a number that only Zvani manages instead? That’s a separate, simpler setup — guide coming soon.

Before you start — two must-haves.

  • Your number is on the WhatsApp Business app — not the regular WhatsApp
  • You can sign in at business.facebook.com (a Meta Business login)

The steps.

  1. Open WhatsApp numbers

    In Zvani

    Go to Setup → WhatsApp numbers and click Use my existing WhatsApp.

    Open WhatsApp numbers
  2. Choose your business portfolio

    Meta popup

    Pick your Meta business from the list — or create one if you're new.

    Choose your business portfolio
  3. Connect a WhatsApp Business app

    Meta popup

    In the WhatsApp Business account dropdown, choose Connect a WhatsApp Business app.

    Connect a WhatsApp Business app

    Instead of this screen, Meta sometimes asks for your number first— that’s fine, the steps are the same in a slightly different order.

  4. Enter your WhatsApp number

    Meta popup

    Type your number with the country code and click Next.

    Enter your WhatsApp number
  5. Tap Connect on your phone

    On your phone

    In WhatsApp Business, open the message from Facebook Business and tap Connect — this switches on the scanner.

    Tap Connect on your phone
  6. Scan the QR code

    On your phone

    Scan the QR code shown on your computer.

    Scan the QR code
  7. Review and confirm

    Meta popup

    Check what you're sharing with Zvani and click Confirm — you're linked.

    Review and confirm
  8. Add a payment method

    Meta popup

    In Meta Business, add a payment method. Without it, WhatsApp won’t deliver your messages.

    Add a payment method
  9. Verify it's connected

    In Zvani

    Back in Setup → WhatsApp numbers, your number now shows as Active. You’re done.

    Verify it's connected

    Quality and sending limits can take a little while to settle after connecting — that’s normal for a fresh link.
