WhatsApp Coexistence allows you to use the WhatsApp Business app and the WhatsApp Business API in Superchat at the same time, with the same phone number. Below you will find step-by-step instructions on how to complete the setup flow.
❗ Important: To utilise WhatsApp Coexistence, your WhatsApp Business App must have reached a certain messaging volume. Unfortunately, Meta does not disclose the exact threshold required to qualify. If your account is not eligible, this will only become apparent during the Meta signup process, where an error message will indicate that coexistence is not available for your number.
