Overview

Just like WhatsApp Web, to connect to Z-API you need to scan a QRCode or provide a phone number. You can do this in two ways:
  • Connect through our admin panel
  • Integrate the experience within your own application
Create a method with 10 to 20 second intervals to call the API and get a new QRCode. If the user does not scan the QRCode after 3 calls, stop the flow and display a button for the user to request a new QRCode. This avoids unnecessary calls to WhatsApp.
WhatsApp invalidates the QRCode every 20 seconds. If already authenticated, the connection will fail. After connecting, Z-API methods will be available.
