Switching to Cue
Questions teams ask before they move
Yes. Let Wati know you are moving and they switch off two-step verification on your number, which lets Cue connect as your new WhatsApp provider. Your approved message templates come across with it, and if your business is verified on WhatsApp, that verification moves over too, so you stay verified. If you are new to WhatsApp Business, we set up your number from scratch as part of onboarding.
