The short answer
Link a WhatsApp number to a Facebook page from the page settings under «Linked accounts» then WhatsApp: enter the number and a code arrives on WhatsApp for you to confirm. A WhatsApp button then shows on the page, and you can run ads that open a WhatsApp chat. On Instagram, add WhatsApp from «Edit profile» so its button shows on your professional account. This link is different from connecting the number to the WhatsApp Business API, which lets the bot and team reply from one place.
