In this quickstart, you will learn how to create and configure your first Access API app via Gupshup's WhatsApp Self-Serve Platform.

Prerequisites

🚧

You can create only one Gupshup user account with an email address.

Perform the following steps:

• Click here to open Gupshup's WhatsApp Self-Serve webpage.

• Sign in using your credentials or you can also log in via Google, Facebook, or GitHub account.

• Navigate and hover on Dashboard present in the top menu bar to open the drop-down menu. Click WhatsApp.

❗️

This app's name does not reflect on your WhatsApp Business API. It is for your reference and should be unique to our platform.
