Pair with a code - WADial

Use a pairing code when scanning a QR code is not convenient. The token must be connected first, and pairing codes only work for tokens that are not already paired.

Prepare the token

Start the token connection:

POST /api/v1/sessions/{sessionId}/connect
Authorization: Bearer <api_key>

Request the code

Send the phone number with country code:

POST /api/v1/sessions/{sessionId}/auth/pairing-code
Authorization: Bearer <api_key>
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "phoneNumber": "15551234567"
}

WADial returns a code formatted for entry in WhatsApp.

Enter the code in WhatsApp

Open WhatsApp on the phone
Open Linked devices
Choose the option to link with a phone number
Enter the code returned by WADial

If the token is already paired, reconnect it instead of requesting another code.
