This is the step that switches everything on. Up to here you have an agent with a script; from here on it has a phone. You connect the WhatsApp number you already use by scanning a QR from the dashboard — no Meta Cloud API application, no message templates to get approved, no per-conversation fee.
The dashboard is in Spanish. Throughout this page, buttons and labels are given in English with the Spanish wording you will actually see in parentheses.

Before you scan: the three things to know

1. Use the number your customers already write to. Regular WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business works, on whatever phone. You don’t need a new number or a separate line.2. Your agent will answer the chats that arrive at that number. All of the incoming ones, not a test list. That is what it does: it answers whoever writes. You can take over any conversation whenever you want — every chat has an Autopilot (Piloto automático) switch that you turn off to reply yourself.3. Connecting credits your US$ 10 of trial credit (plus the US$ 25 of referral credit, if you used one) and starts the 15-day clock. Before you connect, your balance says US$ 0 on purpose. If you had already built or tested your agent, you will see slightly less than US$ 10 credited: that usage was advanced to you and is now deducted — Pricing explains it.

The QR, step by step

1

Open the channels panel

In the menu: Customize → Channels (Personalizar → Canales). If you are coming from your balance notice, the Connect WhatsApp (Conectar WhatsApp) button takes you straight there.
2

Press «Connect / Scan»

You will see Preparing the QR code… (Preparando el código QR…) for a few seconds. The agent has to be active: if it is switched off, the dashboard tells you so instead of showing you the code.
3

On your phone, link the device

Open WhatsApp → Linked devicesLink a device and point the camera at the code on the screen.It is the same mechanism as WhatsApp Web: your phone remains the owner of the number and you can carry on using it as normal.
4

Wait for «Connected»

The badge in the dashboard goes through Connecting… (Conectando…) and ends at Connected (Conectado), with the number in view. Your credits are credited at that moment.
Have your phone in hand before you press «Connect»: the code is short-lived and it is nice not to have to ask for another one.

What each status tells you

Common problems

That is normal: WhatsApp codes expire on their own after a few seconds and keep renewing while the screen is open. Press Refresh QR (Actualizar QR) and scan the new one. If you let many codes go by without scanning any of them, the session gets parked — that is the case below.
The session got parked: after ten or so unscanned codes, the service stops generating them until someone deliberately starts the connection again — that way a forgotten tab does not spend the night asking WhatsApp for codes.The button says Connect (Conectar), not «Retry»: press it and the QR cycle starts from scratch.
The dashboard offers you two ways out, in this order:
  1. Retry (Reintentar) — asks for the connection again without touching the session.
  2. Restart (Reiniciar) — throws the session away and brings it up from scratch. It is the way out when «Retry» changes nothing.
If it is still the same after restarting, it is usually the service and not your account: wait a few minutes and come back.
This happens when the number is unlinked from the phone (WhatsApp → Linked devices → log out), when WhatsApp closes the session on its own, or after a long network outage.You recover it the same way as the first time: Connect / Scan (Conectar / Escanear) and a new QR. Your conversations, your playbook and your catalog are not touched — the only thing rebuilt is the link with the phone.
Disconnect (Desconectar) in the channel panel and connect again with the right number. Welcome credits are credited once per account: reconnecting does not duplicate them, and disconnecting does not take them away.
Connect anyway — it is what credits your credits and starts the trial — and turn off Autopilot (Piloto automático) in the chats you want to handle yourself. You can also deactivate the agent while you finish tuning its playbook.

And now

Write to it yourself from another phone: that is the honest test. You will see the conversation come into Conversations (Conversaciones), with autopilot on and the agent replying with the script you wrote for it.
