I am building a small web-based tool for my startup and want to plug in the official WhatsApp Cloud API directly—no third-party gateways or SaaS bridges. My immediate roadblock is Facebook’s Business Manager: my display name keeps getting rejected and I am not entirely certain I have configured the app, phone number, or verification steps in the right order. What I need from you • Walk me through the correct Business Manager and Cloud API setup so the display name is finally approved. • Show me how to generate the permanent access token, connect my web application, and successfully send outbound messages only (no need to handle inbound traffic right now). Messages will include plain text plus the ability for customers to choose "yes" or "no" options, like a poll. • Explain rate limits, template approval, and best practices so I can maintain the integration myself after you leave. Preferred stack I am not a developer and am using vibe coding to build this. The key is that everything runs from my own server. Acceptance criteria 1. Display name approved and phone number set to “Connected”. 2. A minimal web script that sends both a text and an image message to a test number. 3. Clear, step-by-step documentation of the process so I can replicate it in production. If you have navigated this approval maze before and can explain it in plain language while screensharing or recording a short Loom, you’re the perfect fit.

Getting the WhatsApp display name approved is often the hardest part because Meta is very picky about how your branding matches your website. I have seen their approval maze many times and I can help you fix the configuration order so your phone number finally shows as connected. Since you are building this with your own scripts on your own server, we will skip the expensive bridges and plug straight into the Cloud API. We will jump on a call or I can record a video to show you how to set up the permanent token and send those yes or no poll options. I will make sure you understand the template rules and rate limits so you can manage it all yourself after we finish. One quick thing: What is the specific rejection reason Meta provided for your display name, and does your website branding currently mirror that name exactly? Knowing this helps me give you a real number, not a guess. ~ Rajesh
