WABA

Frequently asked questions

What is WABA?

WhatsApp Business Account — the Meta-managed account that owns one or more verified phone numbers, templates and policies for sending business messages. A WABA (WhatsApp Business Account) is the Meta-side container for business assets: phone numbers, message templates, conversation pricing tier, display name, business profile and quality rating. Each phone number on a WABA must be verified, and templates are reviewed at the WABA level before they can be sent.
