Activating your watsi account takes three steps: **Pick your plan**, **Connect your WhatsApp!** and **Get the app**. You don't have to build the AI agent: a watsi specialist puts it together from the call we had with you. You only do what nobody else can do for you — pay, connect your number and have the app on your phone — and the rest arrives ready.

### Pick your plan
    Choose **Plus** or **Pro**. If you want our team to create and launch your Meta ads every month,
    turn on **Include ads**. If you have a discount code, type it in **Have a code?**. Accept the
    terms and conditions and click **Pay**: checkout opens in another tab ("We opened checkout in
    another tab. Finish there — we will wait here."). When you see **Payment confirmed. You can
    continue.**, move on to the next step.
### Connect your WhatsApp!
    Choose how to connect your number — **Coexistence** if you want to keep using the WhatsApp
    Business app on your phone, or **Cloud API** for a new number just for watsi — and click
    **Connect WhatsApp**. The step is complete as soon as you see **Connected number**; if you chose
    Coexistence, your history keeps importing in the background.
### Get the app
    Scan the QR code with your phone (**Scan to download**) or, if you're already on your phone, use
    the App Store or Google Play buttons. It's the same account: sign in and everything is where you
    left it. Click **Go to my dashboard** to finish.

> **Tip**
  Not sure which connection type to pick? Read [WhatsApp Coexistence](/whatsapp/coexistence) and
  [WhatsApp Business API](/whatsapp/business-api) before connecting: the type is chosen once per
  number.

## Skip a step

The plan and WhatsApp steps have **Skip for now**. Skipping saves nothing: the step stays pending and you can come back to it. The app step can't be skipped; **Go to my dashboard** is always available.

## While we prepare your agent

A watsi specialist builds your agent from what you told us on the sales call and publishes it for you. Meanwhile, on the agents page you'll see **Your agent is being prepared** ("We'll let you know as soon as it's ready.").

If you connected your number with Coexistence, the WhatsApp step says "Your conversations are in. As soon as your agent is ready you can choose which chats it replies to." Once the agent is published, watsi shows you the window to choose which chats it answers. More in [Import your history](/whatsapp/import-history).

> **Note**
  We also invite your team based on the call. If you want to add someone else, do it from [Members &
  roles](/team/members-and-roles).

## FAQ

### Do I have to set up the AI agent myself?

No. A watsi specialist builds your agent from the call we had with you. You only pick your plan, connect your WhatsApp and get the app; afterwards you can adjust the agent whenever you want.

### Can I skip a step?

Yes. The plan and WhatsApp steps have "Skip for now". The step stays pending and you can come back to it whenever you want.
