Step-by-Step Guide

Connect Your WhatsApp Business Line to Ajandam

Send notifications through your own WhatsApp Business number — messages go out under your business name. This guide covers every step, from creating a Meta account to testing the connection in the Ajandam panel.

💳

This is a Pro plan feature

Even if you connect your own line, message credits are still deducted from your Ajandam balance — only the sender number/name changes; the message is physically delivered through your own Meta account.

Create a Meta Business Suite account

Create a Meta Business account for your company at business.facebook.com (if you don't already have one). Fill in your business name and contact details completely — this account will be used for verification in later steps.

Create an app on Meta for Developers and add the WhatsApp product

Create a new app at developers.facebook.com and add the "WhatsApp" product to it. This step assigns you a WhatsApp Business Account ID (WABA ID) and a Phone Number ID — note both down, you'll need them in the panel.

Create message templates and get them approved by Meta

Create WhatsApp message templates for the notifications Ajandam will send (booking confirmation, appointment reminder, etc.) and submit them for approval. Approval usually takes a few hours.

💡 İpucu: Using clear, informational wording instead of promotional language in your templates speeds up approval.

Generate a Permanent Access Token

In Meta Business settings, under "System Users", generate a token that doesn't expire. The token is shown only once — save it somewhere safe.

💡 İpucu: Always use a "Permanent" token, not a temporary one — otherwise your connection will break on its own after a few days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which plan is this feature on?

Connecting your own WhatsApp line is a Pro plan feature. Once you upgrade to Pro, the "Connect Your Own Line" option appears on the Settings page.

If I connect my own line, do message costs change?

No. Even when using your own line, message credits are still deducted from your Ajandam balance — only your sender number and brand change.

What happens if I lose my token or it expires?

You can generate a new Permanent Access Token from the Meta Business panel and update it in Ajandam. The old token is automatically invalidated; your existing templates are unaffected.

How long does template approval take?

It usually completes within a few hours, though it can take up to 24 hours in some cases. Clear, informational templates that follow Meta's content policies get approved faster.

Ready? Set up the connection

If you've gathered the information above, head to Settings > Connect Your Own Line in the Ajandam panel — it only takes a few minutes.
