Before connecting a WhatsApp number via QR code on WaFloW.ai, it is important to meet a series of technical and operational requirements.
Scanning the QR code without these conditions may result in connection failures, frequent disconnections, or crashes.
Account and subaccount requirements #
Before scanning the QR code, please ensure that:
- The subaccount is active in WaFloW.ai.
- WaFloW.ai is correctly installed in GoHighLevel.
- Permissions in GHL are authorized.
- You can access the subaccount without errors.
If any of these points fail, do not proceed with the QR connection.
Phone requirements #
The phone containing the WhatsApp number must meet the following requirements:
- Have WhatsApp up and running.
- Be turned on and have sufficient battery power.
- Have a stable internet connection (WiFi or data).
- Have the latest version of WhatsApp installed.
Recommendation: Use a dedicated and stable phone.
WhatsApp number requirements #
To minimize risks:
- The number must be verified by WhatsApp.
- Avoid newly created numbers with no history.
- Do not use numbers that have been previously blocked.
- Do not connect the same number to multiple systems at the same time.
A number with normal and stable usage has less risk of problems.
Environment requirements #
During QR scanning:
- Do not close the WaFloW.ai window.
- Do not change the network on your phone.

Before scanning the QR code, it is advisable to:
- Define the role of the number (sales, support, etc.).

A clean connection on the first try is ideal.

- ❌ Do not connect "test" numbers in production.
- ❌ Do not scan if WhatsApp displays previous alerts.

- Prepare the connection calmly.
This drastically reduces errors and crashes.
