With the release of WhatsApp Cloud API, WhatsApp allow companies to connect directly to their API or create business accounts on their own. To create a WhatsApp Cloud API account you'll need to create your own Facebook App in order to use WhatsApp Cloud API.
Alternatively, you can create a WhatsApp Business API account you'll need to apply through a WhatsApp Partner. Once a WhatsApp Partner has approved and provisioned your WhatsApp Business API account with a phone number you may connect it to the respond.io platform and manage WhatsApp messages just like any other channel.
