Before you start

What you'll learn

  • What Parlario is and what it's for
  • What you need ready before subscribing

Parlario is a unified social CRM with an AI Agent for WhatsApp, Instagram and Telegram: it lets you handle every conversation your business has (WhatsApp Business, Instagram DMs and Telegram) in one place, turn each message into a sales opportunity, and — if you want — let an AI agent reply automatically using only the information you give it.

These guides start with WhatsApp, your primary channel — connecting your Instagram or Telegram is a separate, optional step available from Settings once you're done with initial setup.

Before you start, have these ready:

  • A phone number for your WhatsApp Business that's not already in use on WhatsApp (not on the personal app, not on another WhatsApp Business account). You can use one you already have registered on WhatsApp Business, or a brand-new one.
  • Your personal Facebook account — you'll need it to connect your WhatsApp. It doesn't need to be new or special — your regular Facebook account works.
  • A payment method for your subscription (credit or debit card).

If anything is unclear or doesn't work the way these guides describe, need a hand? Create an account on our support portal at support.parlario.co and submit a ticket. Registration is easy, and you'll only need to do it once!

⚠️ Heads up: Meta is changing WhatsApp pricing starting October 2026

Your WhatsApp Business number is registered under your own Meta Business Manager, and it's Meta — not Parlario — who charges for the volume of messages you send, separate from your Parlario subscription. Starting October 1, 2026, Meta begins charging for every message you reply to a customer, even inside the 24-hour window (free today). You don't need to change anything in Parlario — the full detail is in the Connect your WhatsApp Business number lesson.

Recap

  • You don't need to be technical — every step is explained in plain language
  • Your WhatsApp Business number can't already be in use, not on the personal app and not on another Business account
  • Any personal Facebook account works to connect WhatsApp — it doesn't need to be new
