{% hint style="warning" %}
Chat API is a WhatsApp Web based solution. Once you've configured your phone remember to do not use WhatsApp web or your account may become disconnected and your chatbot may stop responding correctly.

To configure the [Chat API](https://chat-api.com/en/?lang=EN) WhatsApp provider follow the steps detailed below:

* Signup for a [Chat API](https://chat-api.com/en/demo.html) demo Account
* After registering, you'll be redirected to your account dashboard
* Click on the "Add New Instance" button you see on the left menu. This will start the pairing procedure with your phone.
* The pairing procedure is identical to a typical WhatsApp web pairing. Use your WhatsApp QR scan to associate your phone to the instance
* Once the pairing procedure has ended, copy the Token value from the dashboard to the Xenioo publish dialog.
