# WhatsApp

You can now integrate Wonderchat seamlessly with your WhatsApp business account. Use Wonderchat to deliver instant responses to customer support queries on WhatsApp.

***

## Getting Started

The WhatsApp number integrated with the chatbot **can only be used by the chatbot and cannot be used on WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business**. If you’re currently using this number on WhatsApp, delete your account in the app first:

1. Open WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business.
2. Go to **Settings > Account**.
3. Select **Delete my account**. The number will be free to use with the chatbot shortly.

If you previously used the number with Meta Developer for Business, disable two-step verification:

1. Log in to your WhatsApp Business Account.
2. Select the phone number for integration.
3. Go to **Settings > Two-step verification** and turn off two-step verification.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Please use a <mark style="color:red;">**NEW PHONE NUMBER**</mark> to connect Wonderchat to WhatsApp.

All WhatsApp numbers connected to Wonderchat are managed by the AI chatbot only. Human agents cannot chat directly with users on these numbers. To handle cases where the bot can't answer a query, it's best to set up the bot to provide a link to a human WhatsApp number for further assistance.
