Creating a Meta Developer Account
Go to developers.facebook.com and log in to your Meta developer account. If you don’t have a developer account yet, the system will guide you through the registration form.
Creating a development application
After successfully logging into your Meta Developer Account, you need to create your own developer app, which will serve as a connector between CDESK and the WhatsApp Business API.
Go to the Apps page and click the Create App. button.
A form will appear where you can enter the app name and a contact email address that will be used to receive notifications from Meta.
When selecting the usage type, choose Other and click Next. This step will redirect you to an older environment for creating an app that is compatible with the WhatsApp API.
In the next step, select “Business” as the application type.
Enter the app name and contact email again, and assign the app to the business portfolio you created. Then click Create app. Meta will prompt you to enter your Facebook account password.
After creating your app, add the WhatsApp product to your app by clicking Set up. If you don’t see this screen, or if you’ve already left it, you can return to it by clicking Add Product.
