# Go Live

Once you've tested your chatbot, CRM, or campaign using our Sandbox, you're ready to move to **Production**. This process involves connecting your own WhatsApp Business number using Meta's Embedded Signup.

### 🚀 Steps to Go Live

#### 1. Prepare Your Business

Before you begin, make sure you have:

* A **Facebook Business Manager** account
* Admin access to that Business Manager
* A **verified phone number** (not linked to any other WhatsApp Business account)
* A display name that complies with WhatsApp's guidelines

#### 2. Start the Meta Embedded Signup

Click the button below to begin the Meta signup process:

During the flow, you'll:

* Select a business or add a business in Facebook Business Manager
* Add your phone number
* Verify the number via SMS or voice call
* Approve Lipachat as your WhatsApp Business Solution Provider (BSP)

#### 3. Configure Webhooks

After a successful number setup, you'll be redirected to Lipachat to:

* Set up your webhook URL
* Test a sample message

Use tools like [webhook.site](https://webhook.site) to test webhook delivery before plugging into your system.

#### 4. Approve Message Templates

To send **business-initiated messages**, you must:

* Create templates in the Lipachat Dashboard
* Submit for approval by Meta (usually takes a few minutes)

Once approved, you can:

* Send messages outside the 24-hour session window
* Launch campaigns and notifications

5. #### You're Live!

You can now:

* Receive real messages from your customers
* Send broadcast campaigns
* Run your chatbot or CRM in production
