# How to set up your Business Manager

Your Meta Business Manager is required to connect a WhatsApp number to Patagon AI.

1. Go to business.facebook.com and create a Business Manager account if you don't have one.
2. Add your business details: name, email, and website.
3. Go to Accounts > WhatsApp Accounts and add the number you want to use.
4. Complete Meta's business verification process — you'll need official business documents.
5. Once verified, your number will be available to connect in Patagon AI under Agent > Channels & Integrations.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Business verification can take 1–3 business days. Start this process before your planned launch date.
{% endhint %}

With your Business Manager verified and your number added, you're ready to connect it to Patagon AI.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.patagon.ai/en/getting-started/business-manager-setup.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
