To use TallyPrime with WhatsApp, you must first onboard your business to WhatsApp Business through Interakt. During onboarding, you will register a business phone number, create or link the required Meta assets, complete business verification, and activate your WhatsApp subscription. After successful onboarding, you can connect the registered number to TallyPrime and start sharing documents with your customers.

Before setting up WhatsApp, learn about:

Step 1: Set Up Your Interakt Account

Interakt is the platform used to connect TallyPrime with WhatsApp Business. Before you can register a WhatsApp Business number, you must set up an Interakt account.

  • Add a new contact number
    Choose this option if:
    • You do not have a WhatsApp Business API account.
    • You do not have a business number registered with WhatsApp Business API.
    • You are setting up TallyPrime with WhatsApp for the first time.
  • Add an existing WhatsApp business contact number to WABA
    Choose this option if:
    • Your business already uses WhatsApp Business.
    • You want to continue using your existing WhatsApp Business contact number with TallyPrime.

Step 3: Verify Your Business

To send documents from TallyPrime using Meta-approved templates:

  • Use your GST registration certificate for business verification, or
  • Create a Facebook Business Page and submit its URL along with your business website URL for verification.

You are recommended to provide your GST registration certificate to ensure a seamless sign-up experience. You can log in to the GST Portal and download your GST registration certificate.

To verify your business while creating/updating WABA, if you don’t have your GST registration certificate.

  • You can provide the URL of your business website.
  • In case you do not have an active website, you can provide the URL of your Facebook business page. Ensure that the business page is updated with all relevant information about your business, to avoid chances of your account getting blocked by Meta. To know more, refer to Create a Facebook business page.

Step 5: Add Your WhatsApp Number to TallyPrime

Once your contact number is added to WABA, add the same Registered WhatsApp Number to TallyPrime. This enables TallyPrime to WhatsApp documents via this number.

Step 6: Share Documents Through WhatsApp

After you complete add the registered WhatsApp number to TallyPrime and receive approval for the required WhatsApp templates, you can start sharing invoices, reports, and other business documents through WhatsApp.
