{% embed url="<https://youtu.be/LPz_CZuVlKY?si=FawNgeAkZ8xeGizn>" %}

## Verify Meta Business Manager (BM)

The verification of the **Meta Business Manager (BM)** is an essential step to set up the **Official WhatsApp** on Hablla.\
Without a verified BM, it is not possible to enable and operate WhatsApp within the platform.

***

### What is Meta Business Manager?

The **Business Manager (BM)** is Meta's (Facebook) business hub, where you manage assets such as:

* Ad accounts
* Facebook Pages
* Instagram business profiles
* WhatsApp Business accounts

Only with a verified BM can you enable the **Official WhatsApp Business API** used by Hablla.

***

### Step-by-step to verify the BM

1. **Access Business Manager**
   * Go to [business.facebook.com](https://business.facebook.com).
   * If you already have a BM, it will appear on the right panel, listing your accounts.
2. **Check your BM status**
   * Go to **Settings** > **Security Center**.
   * Check the **Business Verification**.
   * The system may show three possible statuses:
     * **Not eligible for verification**
     * **Start verification**
     * **Verified**
3. **If not eligible for verification**
   * Open a new tab and go to [developers.facebook.com](https://developers.facebook.com).
   * Log in with your Facebook profile.
   * Create a developer account if you don't have one yet.
   * After activating the developer account, return to the **Business Manager**: the option to start verification should appear.
4. **Start the verification process**

   * Click on **Start verification**.
   * You will need to provide your company's information:
     * Legal company name

     * CNPJ or official registration document

     * Full address

     * Valid business phone number

   > Meta may send a validation code by phone or corporate email.
5. **Wait for Meta's review**
   * The review process may take a few days.
   * Once completed, the status will be updated to **Verified**.

***

### Summary

* BM verification is **mandatory** to use Official WhatsApp within Hablla.
* If your account shows **“not eligible for verification”**, first create an account on **Facebook Developers**.
* Only after the BM is **Verified**will you be able to connect your WhatsApp number on Hablla.

***

📌 **Practical tip**: we recommend that verification be done with **corporate email** (e.g.: <yourname@yourcompany.com>) to speed up approval with Meta.
