Meta setup

Connecting AlphOne to WhatsApp takes one Meta app and four values. By the end of this guide you will have filled in every ALPHONE_WHATSAPP_* variable from Configuration and received your first message in the CRM inbox.

You need:

  • a Meta developer account
  • your AlphOne instance reachable over HTTPS (Meta refuses plain-HTTP webhooks)
  • a phone number for the business line

Go to developers.facebook.com/apps and create a new app of type Business. The name is only visible to you. Once it is created you land on the app dashboard, where every later step in this guide starts:

The Meta app dashboard right after creating the app, with the product list ready for WhatsApp to be added.
