WhatsApp Cloud API: Test Your Connection Before Going Live

20 Jul 2026 · Chatku Team · 1 min read

Setting up the WhatsApp Cloud API used to mean guessing whether your credentials worked. Now there's a Test connection button right in the inbox editor.

How it works

  1. Paste your Phone Number ID and Access Token
  2. Click Test connection
  3. Optionally send a real test message to your own number

If something's wrong — an expired token, a mismatched number — you'll see the exact error from Meta instead of a silent failure later.

This is part of a broader push to make channel setup verifiable at every step.
