What you'll need
- A Stripe-billed account
- A dedicated WhatsApp number — either a MyWiFi-managed number (see Buy a managed number for SMS or WhatsApp) or your own connected Twilio account (see Bring your own Twilio account)
- At least one campaign (a splash page plus its login methods, branding, and post-login behavior, reusable across locations) to turn WhatsApp login on for
Steps
- Set up your WhatsApp sending number first, on the Messaging tab (
/user/editprofile#messaging) — managed or BYO Twilio, meaning your own Twilio account, so sending runs and bills under your account instead of MyWiFi's managed pool. - Open your campaign in the builder and go to the Login tab.
- Add or enable the WhatsApp login option.
- Use the number picker on that option to choose which registered WhatsApp number this campaign sends its one-time login codes from.
- Save the campaign. Guests using the WhatsApp login option on this campaign now receive their login code from the number you picked.
Best practice: a dedicated WhatsApp number (managed or BYO) sends codes branded to your business instead of a shared MyWiFi number — guests are more likely to trust and open a message from a number they recognize.
