WhatsApp API Key Setup

The API Key section allows you to connect your TelaviOneChatAI WhatsApp bot with a custom-developed application using WhatsApp Cloud API.

Accessing API Key Settings

  1. Log in to your TelaviOneChatAI Dashboard.
  2. Select the WhatsApp bot you want to configure.
  3. Navigate to Settings.
  4. Click on the API Key tab.

  1. In the WhatsApp API Credentials section, you will see a masked API key.
  2. Click on Generate API Key.
  3. Click the Copy icon to copy the token.
  4. Paste this token into your development application.
This API token is required for authenticating requests from your application to TelaviOneChatAI.

Step 2: Retrieve Required Details from WhatsApp Cloud API

Once the API token is pasted and the integration is initialized, you will receive:

  2. Navigate to Business Settings → Applications → System Users.
  3. Create a new System User or select an existing one.

Step 4: Configure WhatsApp Cloud API Details

Enter the following in the WhatsApp Cloud API section:
  • Phone Number ID
  • WhatsApp Business (WABA) ID
  • System Access Token
Once all three fields are filled, click Continue to proceed.
