WhatsApp Master Account Setup Guide

Quick Setup Guide for Platform Admin

This guide walks you through setting up the Master WhatsApp Business Account for the bakery-ia pilot program.

Prerequisites

Meta/Facebook Business account
Business verification documents (tax ID, business registration)
10 phone numbers for pilot bakeries
Credit card for WhatsApp Business API billing

Time Required: 2-3 hours (including verification wait time)

Step 1: Create Meta Business Account

1.1 Create Business Manager

Go to Meta Business Suite
Click Create Account
Enter business details:
- Business Name: "Bakery Platform" (or your company name)
- Your Name
- Business Email
Click Submit

1.2 Verify Your Business

Meta requires business verification for WhatsApp API access:

In Business Settings → Security Center
Click Start Verification
Choose verification method:
- Business Documents (Recommended)
  - Upload tax registration document
  - Upload business license or registration
- Domain Verification
  - Add DNS TXT record to your domain
- Phone Verification
  - Receive call/SMS to business phone
Wait for verification (typically 1-3 business days)

Status Check:

Business Settings → Security Center → Verification Status

Step 2: Add WhatsApp Product

2.1 Enable WhatsApp

In Business Manager, go to Settings
Click Accounts → WhatsApp Accounts
Click Add → Create a new WhatsApp Business Account
Fill in details:
- Display Name: "Bakery Platform"
- Category: Food & Beverage
- Description: "Bakery management notifications"
Click Create

2.2 Configure WhatsApp Business Account

After creation, note your WhatsApp Business Account ID (WABA ID)
- Found in: WhatsApp Manager → Settings → Business Info
- Format: 987654321098765 (15 digits)
- Save this: You'll need it for environment variables

Step 3: Add Phone Numbers

3.1 Add Your First Phone Number

Option A: Use Your Own Phone Number (Recommended for testing)

In WhatsApp Manager → Phone Numbers
Click Add Phone Number
Enter phone number in E.164 format: +34612345678
Choose verification method:
- SMS (easiest)
- Voice call
Enter verification code
Note the Phone Number ID:
- Format: 123456789012345 (15 digits)
- Save this: Default phone number for environment variables

Option B: Use Meta-Provided Free Number

In WhatsApp Manager → Phone Numbers
Click Get a free phone number
Choose country: Spain (+34)
Meta assigns a number in format: +1555XXXXXXX
Note: Free numbers have limitations:
- Can't be ported to other accounts
- Limited to 1,000 conversations/day
- Good for pilot, not production

3.2 Add Additional Phone Numbers (For Pilot Bakeries)

Repeat the process to add 10 phone numbers total (one per bakery).

Tips:

Use virtual phone number services (Twilio, Plivo, etc.)
Cost: ~€5-10/month per number
Alternative: Request Meta phone numbers (via support ticket)

Request Phone Number Limit Increase:

If you need more than 2 phone numbers:

Open support ticket at WhatsApp Business Support
Request: "Increase phone number limit to 10 for pilot program"
Provide business justification
Wait 1-2 days for approval

Step 4: Create System User & Access Token

4.1 Create System User

Why: System Users provide permanent access tokens (don't expire every 60 days).

In Business Settings → Users → System Users
Click Add
Enter details:
- Name: "WhatsApp API Service"
- Role: Admin
Click Create System User

4.2 Generate Access Token

Select the system user you just created
Click Add Assets
Choose WhatsApp Accounts
Select your WhatsApp Business Account
Grant permissions:
- ✅ Manage WhatsApp Business Account
- ✅ Manage WhatsApp Business Messaging
- ✅ Read WhatsApp Business Insights
Click Generate New Token
Select token permissions:
- ✅ whatsapp_business_management
- ✅ whatsapp_business_messaging
Click Generate Token
IMPORTANT: Copy the token immediately
- Format: EAAxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (long string)
- Save this securely: You can't view it again!

Token Security:

# Good: Use environment variable
WHATSAPP_ACCESS_TOKEN=EAAxxxxxxxxxxxxx

# Bad: Hardcode in source code
# token = "EAAxxxxxxxxxxxxx"  # DON'T DO THIS!

Step 5: Create Message Templates

WhatsApp requires pre-approved templates for business-initiated messages.

5.1 Create PO Notification Template

In WhatsApp Manager → Message Templates
Click Create Template
Fill in template details:

Template Name:       po_notification
Category:            UTILITY
Languages:           Spanish (es)

Message Body:
Hola {{1}}, has recibido una nueva orden de compra {{2}} por un total de {{3}}.

Parameters:
1. Supplier Name (text)
2. PO Number (text)
3. Total Amount (text)

Example:
Hola Juan García, has recibido una nueva orden de compra PO-12345 por un total de €250.50.

Click Submit for Approval

Approval Time:

Typical: 15 minutes to 2 hours
Complex templates: Up to 24 hours
If rejected: Review feedback and resubmit

5.2 Check Template Status

Via UI:

WhatsApp Manager → Message Templates → Filter by Status

Via API:

curl "https://graph.facebook.com/v18.0/{WABA_ID}/message_templates?fields=name,status,language" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {ACCESS_TOKEN}" | jq

Template Statuses:

PENDING - Under review
APPROVED - Ready to use
REJECTED - Review feedback and fix
DISABLED - Paused due to quality issues

5.3 Create Additional Templates (Optional)

For inventory alerts, production alerts, etc.:

Template Name:       low_stock_alert
Category:            UTILITY
Language:            Spanish (es)
Message:
⚠️ Alerta: El ingrediente {{1}} tiene stock bajo.
Cantidad actual: {{2}} {{3}}.
Punto de reorden: {{4}} {{5}}.

Step 6: Configure Webhooks (For Status Updates)

6.1 Create Webhook Endpoint

Webhooks notify you of message delivery status, read receipts, etc.

Your webhook endpoint:

https://your-domain.com/api/v1/whatsapp/webhook

Implemented in: services/notification/app/api/whatsapp_webhooks.py

6.2 Register Webhook with Meta

In WhatsApp Manager → Configuration
Click Edit next to Webhook

Enter details:

Callback URL:     https://your-domain.com/api/v1/whatsapp/webhook
Verify Token:     random-secret-token-here

Click Verify and Save

Meta will send GET request to verify:

GET /api/v1/whatsapp/webhook?hub.verify_token=YOUR_TOKEN&hub.challenge=XXXXX

Your endpoint must respond with: hub.challenge value

Select events to receive:

✅ messages - Incoming messages (for replies)
✅ message_status - Delivery, read receipts
✅ message_echoes - Sent message confirmations

Environment Variable:

WHATSAPP_WEBHOOK_VERIFY_TOKEN=random-secret-token-here

Step 7: Configure Environment Variables

7.1 Collect All Credentials

You should now have:

✅ WhatsApp Business Account ID (WABA ID)
- Example: 987654321098765
- Where: WhatsApp Manager → Settings → Business Info
✅ Access Token
- Example: EAAxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
- Where: System User token you generated
✅ Phone Number ID (default/fallback)
- Example: 123456789012345
- Where: WhatsApp Manager → Phone Numbers
✅ Webhook Verify Token (you chose this)
- Example: my-secret-webhook-token-12345

7.2 Update Notification Service Environment

File: services/notification/.env

# ================================================================
# WhatsApp Business Cloud API Configuration
# ================================================================

# Master WhatsApp Business Account ID (15 digits)
WHATSAPP_BUSINESS_ACCOUNT_ID=987654321098765

# System User Access Token (starts with EAA)
WHATSAPP_ACCESS_TOKEN=EAAxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

# Default Phone Number ID (15 digits) - fallback if tenant has none assigned
WHATSAPP_PHONE_NUMBER_ID=123456789012345

# WhatsApp Cloud API Version
WHATSAPP_API_VERSION=v18.0

# Enable/disable WhatsApp notifications globally
ENABLE_WHATSAPP_NOTIFICATIONS=true

# Webhook verification token (random secret you chose)
WHATSAPP_WEBHOOK_VERIFY_TOKEN=my-secret-webhook-token-12345

7.3 Restart Services

# Docker Compose
docker-compose restart notification-service

# Kubernetes
kubectl rollout restart deployment/notification-service

# Or rebuild
docker-compose up -d --build notification-service

Step 8: Verify Setup

8.1 Test API Connectivity

Check if credentials work:

curl -X GET "https://graph.facebook.com/v18.0/{PHONE_NUMBER_ID}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {ACCESS_TOKEN}" \
  | jq

Expected Response:

{
  "verified_name": "Bakery Platform",
  "display_phone_number": "+34 612 345 678",
  "quality_rating": "GREEN",
  "id": "123456789012345"
}

If error:

{
  "error": {
    "message": "Invalid OAuth access token",
    "type": "OAuthException",
    "code": 190
  }
}

→ Check your access token

8.2 Test Sending a Message

Via API:

curl -X POST "https://graph.facebook.com/v18.0/{PHONE_NUMBER_ID}/messages" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {ACCESS_TOKEN}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "messaging_product": "whatsapp",
    "to": "+34612345678",
    "type": "template",
    "template": {
      "name": "po_notification",
      "language": {
        "code": "es"
      },
      "components": [
        {
          "type": "body",
          "parameters": [
            {"type": "text", "text": "Juan García"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "PO-12345"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "€250.50"}
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  }'

Expected Response:

{
  "messaging_product": "whatsapp",
  "contacts": [
    {
      "input": "+34612345678",
      "wa_id": "34612345678"
    }
  ],
  "messages": [
    {
      "id": "wamid.XXXxxxXXXxxxXXX"
    }
  ]
}

Check WhatsApp on recipient's phone!

8.3 Test via Notification Service

Trigger PO notification:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8002/api/v1/whatsapp/send \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "tenant_id": "uuid-here",
    "recipient_phone": "+34612345678",
    "recipient_name": "Juan García",
    "message_type": "template",
    "template": {
      "template_name": "po_notification",
      "language": "es",
      "components": [
        {
          "type": "body",
          "parameters": [
            {"type": "text", "text": "Juan García"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "PO-TEST-001"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "€150.00"}
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  }'

Check logs:

docker logs -f notification-service | grep whatsapp

Expected log output:

[INFO] Using shared WhatsApp account tenant_id=xxx phone_number_id=123456789012345
[INFO] WhatsApp template message sent successfully message_id=xxx whatsapp_message_id=wamid.XXX

Step 9: Assign Phone Numbers to Tenants

Now that the master account is configured, assign phone numbers to each bakery.

9.1 Access Admin Interface

Open: http://localhost:5173/app/admin/whatsapp
You should see:
- Available Phone Numbers: List of your 10 numbers
- Bakery Tenants: List of all bakeries

9.2 Assign Each Bakery

For each of the 10 pilot bakeries:

Find tenant in the list
Click dropdown: Assign phone number...
Select a phone number
Verify green checkmark appears

Example:

Panadería San Juan  →  +34 612 345 678
Panadería Goiko     →  +34 612 345 679
Bakery Artesano     →  +34 612 345 680
... (7 more)

9.3 Verify Assignments

# Check all assignments
curl http://localhost:8001/api/v1/admin/whatsapp/tenants | jq

# Should show each tenant with assigned phone

Step 10: Monitor & Maintain

10.1 Monitor Quality Rating

WhatsApp penalizes low-quality messaging. Check your quality rating weekly:

curl -X GET "https://graph.facebook.com/v18.0/{PHONE_NUMBER_ID}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {ACCESS_TOKEN}" \
  | jq '.quality_rating'

Quality Ratings:

GREEN ✅ - All good, no restrictions
YELLOW ⚠️ - Warning, review messaging patterns
RED ❌ - Restricted, fix issues immediately

Common Issues Leading to Low Quality:

High block rate (users blocking your number)
Sending to invalid phone numbers
Template violations (sending promotional content in UTILITY templates)
User reports (spam complaints)

10.2 Check Message Costs

# View billing in Meta Business Manager
Business Settings → Payments → WhatsApp Business API

Cost per Conversation (Spain):

Business-initiated: €0.0319 - €0.0699
User-initiated: Free (24hr window)

Monthly Estimate (10 Bakeries):

5 POs per day per bakery = 50 messages/day
50 × 30 days = 1,500 messages/month
1,500 × €0.05 = ~€75/month

10.3 Rotate Access Token (Every 60 Days)

Even though system user tokens are "permanent," rotate for security:

Generate new token (Step 4.2)
Update environment variable
Restart notification service
Revoke old token

Set reminder: Calendar alert every 60 days

Troubleshooting

Issue: Business verification stuck

Solution:

Check Business Manager → Security Center
Common reasons:
- Documents unclear/incomplete
- Business name mismatch with documents
- Banned domain/business
Contact Meta Business Support if > 5 days

Issue: Phone number verification fails

Error: "This phone number is already registered with WhatsApp"

Solution:

Number is used for personal WhatsApp
You must use a different number OR
Delete personal WhatsApp account (this is permanent!)

Issue: Template rejected

Common Rejection Reasons:

Contains promotional content in UTILITY template
- Fix: Remove words like "offer," "sale," "discount"
- Use MARKETING category instead
Missing variable indicators
- Fix: Ensure {{1}}, {{2}}, {{3}} are clearly marked
- Provide good example values
Unclear purpose
- Fix: Add context in template description
- Explain use case clearly

Resubmit: Edit template and click "Submit for Review" again

Issue: "Invalid OAuth access token"

Solutions:

Token expired → Generate new one (Step 4.2)
Wrong token → Copy correct token from System User
Token doesn't have permissions → Regenerate with correct scopes

Issue: Webhook verification fails

Error: "The URL couldn't be validated. Callback verification failed"

Checklist:

Endpoint is publicly accessible (not localhost)
Returns 200 OK status
Returns the hub.challenge value exactly
HTTPS enabled (not HTTP)
Verify token matches environment variable

Test webhook manually:

curl "https://your-domain.com/api/v1/whatsapp/webhook?hub.verify_token=YOUR_TOKEN&hub.challenge=12345"
# Should return: 12345
