I am unable to connect to my WhatsApp number. it says it is already connected
Hey @Marketing_Wakaz
The phone number you use must not be connected to another WhatsApp account, WhatsApp for Business App, or another WhatsApp integration. If the number is already associated with another WhatsApp account, you must first disconnect it before connecting it to HubSpot.
