Connect your WhatsApp

Link your number to Celia

Connect your existing WhatsApp Business number in under 2 minutes. Buyers will message the number they already know — Celia handles everything from there.

Before you start, make sure you have:

Your WhatsApp Business number ready (the one you use with clients)
Access to that phone to receive a verification code
Your Celia subscription active (sign up at usecelia.xyz/signup if not)
1

Click the connect button below

You will be taken to a secure Meta page to connect your WhatsApp Business number. This is Meta's official process — the same one used by all WhatsApp Business platforms.

💡 Use the same phone number your clients already use to contact you. Buyers will continue messaging that number as normal.
2

Log in with Facebook

Meta will ask you to log in with the Facebook account linked to your WhatsApp Business number. If you don't have one, you can create one in seconds — it does not need to be a personal account.

Enter the verification code

Meta will send a 6-digit OTP to your WhatsApp number. Enter it when prompted. This confirms you own the number.

⚠️ Keep your phone nearby — the code arrives within 30 seconds.

Done — Celia goes live

Once verified, we complete the setup on our end within a few minutes. You will receive a WhatsApp message from Celia confirming your number is connected and walking you through the final setup steps.

From that moment, every buyer who messages your number gets an instant, intelligent reply — 24 hours a day.

Ready to connect?

The whole process takes under 2 minutes.

Common questions

Will my buyers notice anything different?
No. They continue messaging the same number they already know. The only difference is they now get an instant reply at any hour instead of waiting for you.
Can I still reply to buyers myself?
Yes. Whenever you reply to a buyer directly, Celia automatically detects this and goes silent for that conversation. You are always in control.
What happens to my existing WhatsApp conversations?
Your existing conversations are untouched. Celia only handles new incoming messages going forward.
Is my WhatsApp number safe?
Yes. The connection uses Meta's official Business API — the same infrastructure used by major banks and enterprises. Your number remains yours and you can disconnect at any time.
How long does setup take?
The verification step takes under 2 minutes. We complete the backend setup within a few hours and send you a confirmation on WhatsApp when Celia is live on your number.
What if I use WhatsApp Personal, not WhatsApp Business?
You will need to switch to WhatsApp Business — it is free and available on the App Store and Google Play. Your chat history and contacts are preserved when you switch. We can walk you through this if needed.
