WhatsApp TSP Onboarding

16min

Introduction

Tech Providers are businesses that provide WhatsApp messaging services to other businesses. Engati has been included as a WhatsApp TSP (Tech Solution Provider), offering self-onboarding and account management services.



Pre-requisites

  • An email account should be created on Engati.
  • It should be a fresh 360dialog account that doesn’t have any numbers associated with it (a new Facebook Business Manager account isn’t required).
  • Ensure the number of licenses in the Master Admin (MA) aligns with the contract. The deployment will be blocked if the number of licenses in MA is less than the bots to be deployed.
  • Update the 360dialog email on Engati MA if necessary. By default, it will match the Engati account email, but can be changed to create the 360dialog account accordingly.

Customers can request additional licenses if the current count does not meet their deployment needs, ensuring the total number aligns with contractual terms.
