Number won't connect
Fix the most common reasons a WhatsApp number fails to link to WA.cr.
Most connection problems come down to three things — and each has a quick fix. Work through the checks below and your number should link on the next try.
Steps
- Confirm the number is set up as a WhatsApp Business number.
- Check it isn't already connected to another tool.
- Make sure you have admin access to the number.
- Wait a few minutes, then start the sign-up again.
- Request a fresh confirmation code and enter it.
- Watch for the "Connected" status.
The three usual causes
Almost every failure is one of these.
- Not eligible: the number isn't enabled for WhatsApp Business yet.
- Already connected: it's linked somewhere else — remove it there first.
- No admin access: you need admin rights on that number to link it.
If it doesn't work
- Try again after a short wait; some checks just need a moment.
- Use the number "+91 98765 43210" only as an example, never your live line.
- If it still fails after a few tries, contact support with the error you see.
