Signing Up
To use WhatsApp messaging, you'll need a WhatsApp-enabled phone number, also known as a WhatsApp Sender. Start by visiting the Messaging section of the Radinet Console and navigate to Senders > WhatsApp senders in the side menu. There, you'll encounter options to initiate the sign-up process:
- Select a phone number to register: The Self Sign-up process lets you register an existing Radinet phone number or bring your own number (BYON).
- Submit your first WhatsApp Sender: ISVs, SIs, or those registered for WhatsApp before 2022 can use the Guided Signup to "Submit a WhatsApp Sender". Note: Approval from WhatsApp may take 2-5 business days.
Once your WhatsApp Sender is approved, you can start with a WhatsApp Quickstart in your preferred language!
