Click Continue with GoHighLevel on the homepage. You will land on a GoHighLevel page asking which agency or sub-account you want to authorize. Pick one and click Authorize.

On first sign-in, WAOS automatically:

• Creates your WAOS account using your GoHighLevel email
• Creates an agency in WAOS that claims your GoHighLevel company
• Creates a sub-account for the location you picked (if it was a sub-account install)
• Registers WAOS as a Custom Conversation Provider inside your GoHighLevel

You land directly on your agency dashboard, signed in and ready to add numbers.

WAOS supports two ways to connect a WhatsApp number:

Read the WhatsApp guide for details →

From the agency dashboard, click + Add number. Fill in:

• Label — anything you want to identify this number by
• Transport — WEB (QR) or CLOUD_API (Meta)
• Sub-account binding — which sub-account this number sends/receives messages for

For QR scan, a live QR code appears. Open WhatsApp on your phone: Settings → Linked Devices → Link a Device → scan. Within a few seconds the status flips to CONNECTED.

From your phone, send a message to your connected WhatsApp number from a different phone. Within seconds the conversation appears as a thread inside GoHighLevel Conversations.

Reply directly from inside GoHighLevel — WAOS routes it back to WhatsApp. Two-way is live.

On the sub-account's page, click AI Replies. Toggle on, paste a system prompt describing your business, and pick a mode:

• Suggest — drafts appear above the composer for human review
• Auto-reply — Claude sends autonomously (only the primary binding)

You can also enable the booking, qualification, and pipeline tools — Claude will use them as needed during conversation.
