* The phone number can not be connected to any active WhatsApp application.
* Display name must be approved and 2FA disabled.

* The WABA can’t be used in other client accounts.

{% hint style="info" %}
As a Partner, you may assist the client during signup, but should never go through it on behalf of the client. The client needs to use their own 360Dialog Client Hub account under their email address and use their own Business Manager when registering a WABA.
{% endhint %}

Meta's Embedded Signup window should pop up.&#x20;

You can either create a new WABA or select an existing WABA.

If you select existing WABA, please make sure the WABA is not used in other client accounts.

The destination WABA can belong to a different Business Manager than the original one. Templates can not be migrated between Business Manager accounts.

To create a new WABA, choose the option **"**&#x43;reate a new WhatsApp Business Accoun&#x74;**"** and complete all the required business details in the next step.

#### ![](/files/WbCFkFf5hdxzHPJH3nkG)  **2.** **Create the new WhatsApp Business Profile**

Select the option "Create a new WhatsApp Business Profile" and complete all the required business details on the next screen.

#### **3. Exit the Embedded Signup process**

Click Finish and return to the 360Dialog Hub.

#### **4. Finish the migration process**

Client can verify the successful transfer by reviewing the status of the number in his old WABA in Meta Business Manager. If the status shows "transferred," it worked correctly.&#x20;

At that point, he can simply delete the number from the old WABA directly within the WhatsApp Business Manager.

The 360Dialog Hub will reflect the new WABA Name on the Details Page after a refresh.
