This page describes the different statuses in the Verloop.io Portal while activating your WhatsApp Business Account.
Folder Layout
Each folder in the Verloop.io Portal is connected to one WhatsApp phone number.
By clicking the “All Numbers” button, you can view all of the statuses of the WhatsApp Business Account and the phone number.
The folder is divided into three sections that can be seen in the image below:
External WABA Account:
Once your company’s account has been submitted to Meta, the status of the External WhatsApp Business Account (WABA Account) will transition from DRAFT (grey) to DONE (green).
Messaging On Behalf:
After submitting the External WABA Account and External WABA Channel, you will receive a notification from your Business Manager requesting permission for Verloop.io to send messages on your behalf.
The potential status states are:
UNSET
PENDING
APPROVED
NOT VERIFIED
NOT ENABLED
The Message On Behalf (MOB) request has not yet been sent.
Phone Number Status
The Phone Number section displays statuses related to the activation status of a specific phone number that you want to connect to WhatsApp. This information must be completed for every new phone number you wish to add to your account.
Display Name
Once your WhatsApp Business display name is approved, it will appear as your business name when you message your customers. You can change your display name after it has been approved.
You will see a green tick next to your display name if you have an OBA.
To change your Display Name, visit Verify your business in Business settings
