Before you start
Meta requires every Business Portfolio to be linked to a personal Facebook account to verify you’re a real person.
✅ We recommend using the personal Facebook account of a business director (you can add more admins later).
1. Create your Meta Business Portfolio
Go to:
2. Log in with your personal Facebook account
3. Click Create a business portfolio
4. Follow the steps to create the portfolio
2. Create a WhatsApp Business API account in Meta
In Meta Business Suite, open Settings
Go to Accounts → WhatsApp accounts
Click Add
Select Create a new WhatsApp business account
3. Check your Business Info and verify your business
In Settings, go to Business info
Make sure your details are correct (especially):
Address
Website (must be the full URL starting with
https://)
Verify your work email address
Follow Meta’s steps to verify your business
4. Add a payment method (with your TalentLynk Account Manager)
Once your WhatsApp account is created, a payment method needs to be added.
✅ Your TalentLynk Account Manager will help you complete this step.
5. Connect WhatsApp to TalentLynk (Admins only)
In TalentLynk, go to:
Click Connect
Follow the prompts to link your WhatsApp account
| Note: Only Admins can connect WhatsApp to TalentLynk.
6. Register your phone numbers (with TalentLynk)
After WhatsApp is connected:
Your Account Manager will register phone numbers to your WhatsApp account
Once Meta verifies the numbers, you can start messaging from TalentLynk
✅ When numbers are verified, WhatsApp messaging will be ready to use.
