Вопросы:

Who can connect MM Lite API?

The request to connect MM Lite is automatically generated by Meta. It only appears after your Business Manager receives access to this feature from Meta.

Requirements for using MM Lite API:

For a company to use MM Lite API, it must comply with all applicable legal, industry, and content restrictions (depending on the country) specified in the WhatsApp Business Messaging Policy.

Additional compliance conditions:

  • WABA must be active and not have messaging restrictions due to violations.

  • WABA must not be an account in the WhatsApp Business app (only WhatsApp Business API).

  • The country of tax registration of WABA must not be in a region subject to sanctions.

  • The country where the company-owner of Business Manager is registered must also not be under sanctions.

Meta regularly updates MM Lite API requirements to comply with international policies and industry standards. Therefore, availability conditions may change over time

What to do if you accidentally closed the notification in the Alerts section in WhatsApp Manager?

If you closed the notification in the Alerts section for any reason, Meta will automatically move the MM Lite API consent request to the Requests section of your WhatsApp Manager. You can find it at:

WhatsApp Manager → Overview → Requests / Other Requests

The request will remain in this section until the company accepts the MM Lite terms. If your Business Manager meets the requirements, the request will always appear here, even if the primary notification was closed.

Thus, you will not lose the activation link — it is always available in the Requests section.

Do I need to connect MM Lite API for a new number if it is connected to a WhatsApp Business account that already has MM Lite API connected?

If you add a new number to an already connected WhatsApp Business account — MM Lite, as a rule, is activated automatically. However, we recommend checking the status in your 1MSG personal account.
