Getting started
Sign in to your gateway dashboard and find your organization.
This guide gets you to a signed-in account. The gateway is the service that holds the WhatsApp connection and serves the API. The dashboard is the web app where you sign in and manage things.
Open your dashboard
Use the dashboard URL provided by the person hosting your gateway. You also need the public API URL when calling the gateway from your own code. The dashboard shows it when you create an API key and on each session's overview.
Create your account
Open the dashboard, select Create one below the sign-in form, and sign up with an email and password. If registration is closed, the sign-in page asks you to contact your gateway operator, who can create an account for you. New accounts receive ordinary user access and a personal organization.
After you sign in, the dashboard opens on Home. Its Get started checklist walks you through the next steps. See Home.
If you forget your password, the gateway cannot send a reset email. Ask your gateway operator to set a new password, then change it from your account settings. The same page lets you turn on two-factor authentication.
Your personal organization
Every resource in the gateway, such as a WhatsApp number, an API key, or a webhook, belongs to an organization, not to you directly. An organization is a container that owns resources and can have several members. When you sign up, the dashboard creates a personal organization for you and makes you its owner.
For solo use you do not need to think about this. Every number and key you create goes into your personal organization. Organizations matter once you want to share a connection or keep separate projects apart. See organizations.
