Quickstart

Step-By-Step Setup

Use this exact sequence for first deployment checks.

Step 1: Confirm Server Reachability

Your current connection point is https://evoapi.faisak.com.

curl -i "https://evoapi.faisak.com/"

Expected: HTTP success response from the WhatsApp Gateway root endpoint.

Step 2: Create API Key

Customer API keys are scoped to the owning account and are shown once after creation.

Dashboard > API Keys > Create API Key

Expected: a key beginning with wg_live_.

Step 3: Create Instance In App Dashboard

Public API docs do not expose instance creation. Use your internal app flow:

Dashboard > Instances > Create Instance

After creation, use that instance name for send/receive API operations.

Step 4: Check Connection State

Before sending messages, the portal state should eventually become open.

Dashboard > Instances > Manage > Connection

If still close or connecting, continue with the Connect Instance guide.

Portal Checklist

  • Create a customer API key from /api-keys.
  • Use Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY for API sends.
  • Confirm the instance is open before sending.
  • Create instances from /instances in the app dashboard only.
