Frequently asked questions
Do I need a verified Meta Business account to connect WhatsApp to HubSpot?
Yes, HubSpot requires a verified Meta Business Manager account matched to your WhatsApp Business phone number before the channel connection can be completed.
Can I use my personal WhatsApp number for this integration?
No, the integration is built for WhatsApp Business numbers that go through Meta's business verification and OTP confirmation process.
Why do I need to send pre-approved message templates?
WhatsApp Business requires templates to be pre-approved by Meta before they can be used in automated workflows, which HubSpot enforces to keep messaging compliant.
What happens if my phone number verification code doesn't arrive?
You can typically request the code again as SMS or voice OTP from the same verification step; double-check the phone number entered is active and can receive calls or texts.
