Getting Started with Kaanha AI

This guide walks you through signing up, connecting your WhatsApp Business account, and sending your first message in under 10 minutes.

Step 1: Create Your Account

  1. Visit app.kaanha.ai/signup
  2. Enter your email, name, and password
  3. Check your inbox for a verification email from Kaanha AI
  4. Click the verification link — this activates your account
  5. You’ll be redirected to the login page
Note: You must verify your email before you can log in. If you don’t see the email within 2 minutes, check your spam folder or use “Resend Verification” on the login page.

Step 2: Connect WhatsApp

After logging in, you’ll see the Onboarding Wizard. Kaanha AI uses the official Meta Cloud API to connect your WhatsApp Business number.
  1. Go to Settings → Cloud API
  2. Enter your credentials from Meta Business Manager:
    • WhatsApp Phone Number ID
    • Business Account ID
    • Access Token (permanent token from Meta)
    • App Secret (from your Meta App)
  3. Click Test Connection — you’ll see a green ✓ if successful
  4. Add your Webhook Verify Token and configure the webhook URL in Meta Business Manager:
    https://app.kaanha.ai/api/webhooks/whatsapp
    
See the WhatsApp Connection Guide for the full step-by-step setup.

Step 3: Add Your First Contact

  1. Go to Contacts → Add Contact
  2. Enter the phone number in E.164 format (e.g., +91 9876543210)
  3. Add a name, email, and any tags
  4. Toggle Opt-In to confirm the contact has agreed to receive messages
WhatsApp requires contact opt-in consent before you can message them. See Contacts & Conversations for opt-in management.

Step 4: Send Your First Message

  1. Go to Chat → select or create a conversation
  2. Type a message in the input area and press Send
  3. For new conversations, WhatsApp requires a pre-approved template if the contact hasn’t messaged you in the last 24 hours
Alternatively, use the Quick Start templates from the onboarding wizard.

Step 5: Complete Your Onboarding Checklist

The dashboard shows a 6-item checklist. Complete each to unlock the full platform:
