How to Integrate WhatsApp for Sending Reminders

·Sep 26, 2025 03:29 PM·

I'm looking to integrate Whatsapp to send myself reminders. I read this: https://docs.lindy.ai/skills/popular-integrations/whatsapp The article says: "Once added to the canvas, click on it again and from the right tab, choose connect. Now input your Access Token and Whatsapp Phone Number ID" But I'm not sure what the access token is?? Thanks!

Hey Brooks! Hmmm -- this actually came up recently and I believe you're going to need a business account to get these credentials, unfortunately. Let me attempt to repro myself and connect with my team. We will update the docs respectively if so 🙏

Yeah I feel that about a year ago I was trying to connect WhatsApp and it had to be a business account. So you might want to update your docs to notice that as it lists personal accounts also. Thanks!
