WhatsApp Channel Setup
Before you can launch your WhatsApp channel there are some data & security requirements that Heyday needs completed in order to set up the channel on your behalf.
Heyday manages the onboarding process for the WhatsApp channel on behalf of your business. You must not register your phone number with WhatsApp Business as this will prevent us from getting permission to access your phone number.
If you have already registered, make sure to delete your account:
