Embedded Signup

Embedded Signup is Meta's pop-up onboarding flow that lets a business create or connect a WhatsApp Business Account and phone number from inside a Tech Provider's or BSP's software in a few minutes. It handles Business Portfolio selection, WABA creation, number verification and permission grants in one guided window.

Why it matters

Before Embedded Signup, getting on the API meant manual Business Manager setup, developer app configuration and days of waiting. The flow collapsed that to a two-minute pop-up and made self-serve WhatsApp software viable. It is also the only Meta-sanctioned way for a Tech Provider to receive a token to your account, so a provider that asks you to paste a token by hand is doing something Meta does not intend.

In VGraple CRM

The Connect WhatsApp button opens Embedded Signup in a Meta-hosted window; you choose the portfolio, add or select a number, confirm the display name and grant access. VGraple CRM receives a scoped token, subscribes the webhook, and the channel shows as connected with its quality rating and tier within a minute. Coexistence mode uses the same flow with an extra QR step on the phone.

Frequently asked questions

What do I need before starting Embedded Signup?
A Facebook account with admin rights on the Business Portfolio, a phone number that can receive an SMS or a call and is not registered on the WhatsApp app (unless you use coexistence), and a legal business name for the display name.
Does Embedded Signup verify my business?
No. It creates the account. Business verification is a separate step in Business Manager that lifts the 250 recipient limit and unlocks the display name review.
The pop-up closed without connecting. What now?
Pop-up blockers and third-party cookie settings are the usual cause. Allow pop-ups for the app domain, disable strict tracking protection for the session and retry; the flow resumes where it stopped.
