WhatsApp widget

​

What the restaurant sees

• How it works, in plain words: a number already on the WhatsApp Business app stays on the app; a new number gets a code by SMS; what the restaurant needs (a Facebook account, the phone with the number, a card).
• Connect WhatsApp opens the setup in its own window.
• Once connected: the number, the display name with Meta’s review (approved, in review, declined), the quality (high, medium, low) and the sending limit.

Mount it

<div id="minimo-whatsapp"></div>
<script src="https://api.minimo.it/public/v1/embed/widgets/widgets.js"></script>
<script>
  Minimo.mountWidget({
    url: session.urls.whatsapp,
    container: '#minimo-whatsapp',
    minHeight: 520,
    onEvent: function (event) {
      if (event.type === 'whatsapp.connected') console.log('connected', event.data.number);
      if (event.type === 'whatsapp.connect_requested') {
        window.open(event.data.url, 'minimo-wa-connect', 'width=720,height=820');
      }
    },
  });
</script>

How it works

• The restaurant owns the number and pays Meta. The number lives on the restaurant’s own WhatsApp Business account in its own Meta business portfolio. Meta charges the conversations to the card on that account.
• Two ways to connect. A number already on the WhatsApp Business app stays on the app (chats and contacts stay on the phone) and connects to the platform too. A new number gets a code by SMS during the setup.
• The setup runs in its own window. “Connect WhatsApp” opens a window on Minimo, then Meta’s window: never inside your iframe, so third-party cookies and iframe sandboxes do not matter. Meta’s window shows Minimo, the technology provider: Meta does not let us change that name.
• One number, one restaurant. A number already connected to Minimo (any workspace or restaurant) is refused, never moved.
