### Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: I have got a new number for the WhatsApp deployment but it isn't working. What should I do?**

A: There could be a few reasons why this isn't working, please AVOID these steps:

* You have activated the sim card on a smartphone with WhatsApp messaging app
* You have registered the phone number directly on Facebook
* You have registered the phone number directly on Whatsapp Manager

Please avoid this, you will not be able to integrate Gooey AI Agent on that number until you deactivate all these things.&#x20;

**Q: The deployment worked successfully, but it's not working now. Why is this?**

A: We have commonly found that after successful deployment users/organizations try to use the connected phone number on the WhatsApp client for messages sent by human experts. Once you have integrated the WhatsApp agent with your AI Agent, you can't have additional human-sent messages like other WhatsApp Business Accounts.&#x20;

**Q: The deployment worked successfully, why did the agent stop working after the first day?**

A: If you don't connect a credit card to your Facebook Account for the agent, it will deactivate in 24 hours.  There won't be any additional charge from Facebook but they require a credit card to activate the account. Once you add a card there will be a business verification process.
