Business Account ID
The unique numeric identifier for your WhatsApp Business Account, required for account-level API operations like template management and analytics.
How it works
The Business Account ID (sometimes called WABA ID) is a numeric string that uniquely identifies your WhatsApp Business Account within Meta's system. It is distinct from your Meta Business Manager ID and your Phone Number ID. You need this ID for API calls that operate at the account level rather than the phone number level, such as creating message templates, pulling analytics, and managing phone numbers. The Business Account ID is found in the Meta Business Suite under WhatsApp Manager, or returned when you create a WABA programmatically. When working with BSPs like SuperWaba, the platform typically handles Business Account ID management behind the scenes.
