Create a Channel 

Before you can create WhatsApp notifications and instant message your customers, you need to create Channels. You can create a channel for every phone number associated with your WhatsApp Business account. This will let you combine all your activities associated with a WhatsApp Business account phone number under a common head.
 
To create a channel:
  1. Navigate to Setup > Channels > WhatsApp and click Create Channel.
  2. Enter the following details and click Create:
    1. Channel Name: Enter a display name for the channel
    2. Phone Number: Select a phone number associated with the WhatsApp Business account


You can edit the details of a channel, delete it, or activate/deactivate it. Once you delete a channel, you will not be able to view that channel and the conversations associated with it in Zoho FSM. However, you can still view them in your Whatsapp account.
