I've been following the tutorial for the WhatsApp API and got my sandbox connected to a phone number and be able to send messages and all that. But it is still unclear to me how I get a dedicated number. Could someone explain it to me or point to the documentation that explains it?
Also, I imagine there is a way to change what a user has to send to join the sandbox and the response message that Twilio sends confirming it?
Hey @savagepixie
, glad to hear the WhatsApp Sandbox is working for you. That's definitely the best place to be for developing an application.
To get a real number on WhatsApp you need to be approved by the WhatsApp team. You can apply through Twilio and the team here will help with that. The best documentation to read on it is here: twilio.com/docs/whatsapp/api#using....
Let me know if that helps or if you have further questions.
I'm a friendly, non-dev, cisgender guy from NC who enjoys playing music/making noise, hiking, eating veggies, and hanging out with my best friend/wife + our 3 kitties + 1 greyhound.
Hey hey, good to see a familiar face in this thread! So, it's definitely not a requirement, but just give me a shout if you want to be added to the Twilio Hackathon Connect channel. 😀
