πŸ“ Where to find it: Inboxes β†’ (your WhatsApp inbox) β†’ Settings β†’ "Configuration" tab

After connecting, the Configuration tab of a WhatsApp inbox lets you sync your message templates, update the API key, review the webhook and verify token, or relaunch the guided sign-in.

How it works

Madyis Hub queries Meta to retrieve your approved WhatsApp templates (used for campaigns and follow-ups outside the 24-hour window). For inboxes connected manually, the webhook, the verify token and the API key are displayed and editable. For inboxes using guided sign-in, a button lets you relaunch/reconfigure the connection. An "Account status" tab also shows the number's health (sending tier, etc.).

Step by step

  1. Inboxes β†’ Settings of your WhatsApp inbox β†’ "Configuration" tab.
  2. Click "Sync templates" to retrieve your templates approved by Meta.
  3. For a manual connection: copy the displayed webhook/token, or paste a new API key then "Update".
  4. For a guided connection: use "Reconfigure" to relaunch the Meta window.
  5. Check the "Account status" tab to verify the health and sending tier of your number.

Good to know

  • Sync your templates before launching a WhatsApp campaign, otherwise your templates will not be offered.
  • An image header is often mandatory for certain templates: an incomplete template can fail silently.
