✅ How do I get my Facebook Business Manager verified? #
Verifying your Facebook Business Manager is a required step to unlock full WhatsApp Business API functionality with Flowbee — including message templates, chatbot flows, and catalog-based automation.
Meta uses this verification process to ensure your business is legitimate. It’s simple, but requires the right documents.
Let’s go through it step by step. 🔒
🧾 What Is Business Verification? #
Business verification is how Meta confirms that your company is real and registered. Without it, you’ll have limited access to important features like:
- Sending WhatsApp messages at scale
- Using message templates
- Completing the WhatsApp API onboarding
- Linking product catalogs or using custom domains
If you’re using Flowbee to manage WhatsApp communication, business verification is strongly recommended.
🕒 When Do You Need to Verify? #
- During the WhatsApp API setup process
- If prompted by Meta during catalog or phone number assignment
- Anytime you want to enable advanced business messaging features in Flowbee
🐝 Tip: Flowbee will still work for basic setup before verification, but certain features (like broadcasts and templates) are locked until Meta approves your business.
🛠️ How to Start the Verification Process #
✅ Step 1: Open Meta Business Settings #
Go to:
👉 https://business.facebook.com/settings/
Make sure you’re logged in with your Business Admin account.
✅ Step 2: Go to Security Center #
- In the left sidebar, scroll down to Security Center
- You’ll see the Business Verification section
- Click Start Verification
📑 What Documents Do You Need? #
To verify your business, Meta may ask for:
- ✅ A business registration certificate or incorporation document
- ✅ A utility bill, lease, or bank statement with your business name and address
- ✅ A tax certificate, trade license, or government-issued ID for the business
📝 All documents must:
- Match the legal business name in your Business Manager settings
- Be recent and official (scanned clearly)
🌐 Optional: Domain Verification #
In some cases, Meta might ask you to verify your website domain.
If so:
- Go to your domain hosting service (like GoDaddy or Namecheap)
- Add the TXT record Meta provides to your DNS settings
- Click Verify back in Meta
This step proves you own the business website listed in your profile.
⏳ After Submission #
Once you’ve submitted your documents:
- Meta will review them within a few business days
- If approved, you’ll see “Verified” under your Business Info
- If rejected, you’ll receive an email explaining why and can re-submit
🐝 Helpful Tips #
- Double-check that all business info in Meta matches your documents
- Use a business email address, ideally one tied to your website domain
- Don’t use temporary or personal emails like Gmail or Yahoo
- If you’re unsure what to upload, follow Meta’s file guidelines exactly
