2. Connect your WhatsApp number

On your first sign-in, Whatixo guides you through linking your number. It works like WhatsApp Web: your phone authorizes Whatixo to send and receive messages for you.

Can’t scan? (single phone, broken camera…) Choose the 8-digit code: enter your number with the country code (e.g. 243812345678), then type the code you receive in WhatsApp → Linked devices → Link with phone number instead.

3. What’s next?

Here is the order we recommend for your first sales:

  1. Import your contacts (CSV file or your WhatsApp group members), with a tag such as customer.
  2. Set up the AI agent to answer questions while you’re busy.
  3. Send a campaign to your existing customers.
  4. Install the Chrome extension if you often work on WhatsApp Web.

Best practices to keep your number healthy

  • Message people who know you first (customers, leads who contacted you).
  • Personalize your messages with the first name, and vary the wording.
  • Let Whatixo space out sends: don’t push thousands of messages at once from a brand-new number.
  • Keep your phone charged and online from time to time: WhatsApp unlinks devices after the phone has been offline for a long time.

Whatixo uses WhatsApp’s “linked device” connection. Follow WhatsApp’s rules: no spam, no messages to purchased numbers. A number reported by many recipients may be restricted by WhatsApp.
