Read on to learn how an Admin can enable WhatsApp Messaging for users.

Before you start

- Log into the MMP.
- Navigate to the WhatsApp sub-organization.

Inherited Flag
If you see a yellow Inherited label, that means you are in a sub-organization of an organization which has WhatsApp Messaging enabled, and therefore WhatsApp Messaging was enabled its sub-organizations.
You can uncheck Enable WhatsApp Messaging to disable it for the sub-organization. This will disable its sub-organizations as well. Admins of those sub-organizations will then be able to enable it if needed.
Onboarding users in the enabled organization will automatically have the WhatsApp messaging feature when they complete their onboarding.
Existing users will see a pop-up in-app letting them know the WhatsApp messaging feature is available for use.
