# Chat-API

{% 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.
{% endhint %}

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.
