Definition
The unique identifier for a WhatsApp Business Account, the container that holds a business's phone numbers, templates and settings.

What WhatsApp Business Account ID means

A WhatsApp Business Account (WABA) is the top-level container for a business's presence on the WhatsApp Business Platform. The WABA ID is its unique identifier. Inside a WABA sit one or more phone numbers, the account's message templates, its messaging limits and its quality signals.

The WABA ID is used in API calls that manage templates and account-level settings, and it links the messaging account to a Meta Business Manager for verification and billing.

InfiQ provisions and manages the WABA for its customers, so the WABA ID and its associated settings are handled through the dashboard while remaining accessible to developers.
