# Get Channel ID & Link Your App

### Get Channel ID

Before getting a Channel ID, you are required to set up WhatsApp on the Channels page. After that, you can click the **Setup Account** button to set up your WhatsApp Account.

And then, you're already set if you follow the WhatsApp verification steps, and your Channel ID will be automatically displayed in the Connected Channels column.

### Link your App

There are two ways to Link to your application: through the WhatsApp setup, you have done before and through the Connected Channels column. You can add applications by contacting our team first. After you get them, we will create the application you have submitted.
