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
- Paste your Phone Number ID and Access Token
- Click Test connection
- 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.
