    2. In the Name field, type a name that you want to assign to your WhatsApp Messenger integration.
    3. In the PIN field, enter any six digit PIN number to register your phone number on WhatsApp. Your PIN can be a combination of any six digits. You can use the same PIN for future actions on your WhatsApp phone number. It is encouraged that you save or store the PIN before you move on to creating your integration as Genesys does not persist this PIN. If you forget or misplace the PIN, you can change it from your Phone Number Settings page in your WhatsApp Manager.
    4. Click Create Integration.
23. Click Confirm to create the integration. 

Once your WhatsApp integration is saved, navigate back to the Platforms page. You can view your integration in active status.

You can configure your inbound message routing to ensure that interactions reach your agents. For more information about adding inbound message routes and to associate the integration to your inbound message flow, see Add an inbound message route. 

You can configure the call routes to associate a telephone number or numbers with a call route. For more information, see Add a call route.

Once the WhatsApp integration is active, login to your Meta Business Manager or WhatsApp Manager to confirm that the corresponding phone number is in connected status. You can send or receive messages on this number using Genesys Cloud.

You can update your WhatsApp Messenger configuration by selecting the required supported content profile. For more information about supported content profiles, see Supported content profiles. If you do not select a supported content profile, the integration uses your organization’s default content profile.

To select a supported content profile, perform the following steps:

1. Click Admin.
2. Under Message, click Platforms.
3. Click Menu > Digital and Telephony > Message > Platform Integrations.

2. In the Display Call button field, select the checkbox to enable the call button in the business profile and chat messages of your customers.
3. In the SIP Trunk Group Identifier field, enter the SIP trunk group identifier details.
   Notes: Before you create a configuration on the Platform Integrations page, create a new external trunk configuration for WhatsApp in the External Trunks page. Then, refer to the value in the Termination Identifier field to update the SIP Trunk Group Identifier field. For more information about creating a new external trunk configuration, see Create a trunk under BYOC Cloud. 
4. In the SIP Hostname field, review the details that are automatically updated based on the identifier selected in the SIP Trunk Group Identifier field.
