Salons and clinics that signed up for WATI expecting plug-and-play discover they need Facebook Business Manager, a number not already on WhatsApp, a public website, and Meta verification that Wati's own docs say can take from minutes to 14 working days (full access typically about a week). Messo is a different path — pair the WhatsApp number already on your phone in about 60 seconds, with no Meta Business API approval required.
