TourVilo provides two flexible connection options for WhatsApp. Small to mid-sized agencies can connect in 30 seconds via QR Code scan, while high-volume corporate agencies can link their Meta WhatsApp Business Account via Cloud API.
Step-by-Step Guide
1
Open WhatsApp Settings
Go to Team & Admin → WhatsApp Settings.
2
Option A: Baileys QR Code Scan
Click 'Connect with QR Code'. Open WhatsApp on your physical business phone → Linked Devices → Link a Device. Scan the on-screen QR code. Status will transition from 'Connecting' to 'Connected'.

Option B: Meta Cloud API Setup
Select the 'Meta Cloud API' tab. Enter your official Phone Number ID, WhatsApp Business Account (WABA) ID, and Permanent System User Access Token. Click 'Save & Test Connection'.
Best Practices & Pro Tips
- If using QR scan, ensure battery saver mode is disabled on your physical phone so WhatsApp keeps background sync active.
