Connect your first WhatsApp in 5 min

No Meta Business API, no BSP approval, no template waiting list. Scan a QR with your phone and you're live. This page walks you from zero to your first synced message.

Overview

Wazzap connects to WhatsApp the same way WhatsApp Web does — through a QR code paired to your phone. That means there's nothing to install on your number, no Meta verification, no templates to pre-approve. The number you already use stays the number you use.

Once paired, every message goes through our cloud so your phone doesn't need to stay connected. We add anti-ban (Spintax, smart intervals, optional proxies), multi-agent inboxes and a real CRM sync on top.

If you already have a Meta Business API number with templates approved, you can still use it with Wazzap — but most teams come here precisely to avoid the API. Read when to choose which.

Create an account

Sign up at join.wazzap.mx. You get 7 days free, no card required. Pick a plan after the trial — the smallest one is $19 USD/mo with unlimited messages and one sub-account.

  1. Enter your email and pick a password.
  2. Confirm your email (we send a link).
  3. Land in the dashboard. You'll see an empty sub-account waiting for a number.

Connect your first number

This is the part where the magic happens. Take your phone and head to WhatsApp.

Scan the QR

  1. In the Wazzap dashboard, click "Connect a number".
  2. On your phone, open WhatsApp → Settings → Linked Devices → Link a Device.
  3. Point the camera at the QR shown on screen. Pairing is instant.

Use a number that already has activity. Brand-new SIMs scanned the same day they're registered hit Meta's anti-spam more often. See the number warming guide.

Verify connection

The dashboard tile will flip from "Waiting for pairing" to "Online" within a couple of seconds. You'll also see your profile photo and number appear. If it doesn't, hard-refresh the page and re-scan — the QR rotates every 30 seconds.

{"status": "online", "number": "+52••••••••89", "agents": 0}

Send a test message

From the dashboard, open Compose, type your own number as the recipient and send Hello from Wazzap 👋. Your phone buzzes a second later. That's it — you're live.

For programmatic sends, the REST API is the same friendly shape:

curl -X POST https://api.wazzap.mx/v4/messages \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WAZZAP_KEY" \
  -d '{"to": "+5215512345678", "body": "Hi from cURL"}'
