WhatsApp Business Account

WhatsApp Business Account

The waba command mirrors everything the Dashboard page shows about your connected WhatsApp Business Account, and lets you update the business profile, refresh data from Meta, register the phone, and manage Official Business Account (OBA) status.

Quick start

splashify waba                                # full WABA details
splashify waba setup-status                   # high-level setup checklist
splashify waba sync                           # pull fresh data from Meta
splashify waba register-phone                 # (re-)register the phone with Meta
splashify waba oba-status                     # Official Business Account status
splashify waba oba-apply                      # apply for Official Business Account
splashify waba request-deletion               # request WABA deletion (destructive)

Update the business profile

# Single field — other fields are preserved
splashify waba update --about "Premium WhatsApp messaging for businesses"

# Multiple fields at once
splashify waba update \
  --about       "Premium WhatsApp messaging" \
  --description "Splashify Pro — broadcasts, templates, AI-driven flows" \
  --email       "[email protected]" \

  --vertical    "PROF_SERVICES" \
  --websites    "https://splashifypro.com,https://app.splashifypro.com"

Partial updates are safe. Since v0.1.7 the CLI does a read-modify-write — it fetches the current profile, overlays whichever flags you passed, and submits the merged body. Fields you didn't mention stay untouched.

Flag	What it sets
`--about`	Short bio (Meta limit ~139 chars)
`--description`	Longer business description
`--address`	Physical address
`--email`	Contact email
`--vertical`	Business category (Meta enum, see below)
`--websites`	Comma-separated URLs (Meta allows up to 2)
`--data`	Raw JSON merged on top of the flags — for advanced fields like `profile_picture_handle`

`--vertical` values

Meta-defined enum: AUTO, BEAUTY, APPAREL, EDU, ENTERTAIN, EVENT_PLAN, FINANCE, GROCERY, GOVT, HOTEL, HEALTH, NONPROFIT, PROF_SERVICES, RETAIL, TRAVEL, RESTAURANT, NOT_A_BIZ, OTHER.
