# Your number. Your business.

Choose the sending identity behind the WhatsApp conversation. Use Bird-managed templates or finish connecting a number on your own business account.

## Two sending paths. Different responsibilities.

Inspect the number type before choosing the message it can send.

## Verify the number. Finish the connection.

Connect the business number behind the conversation.

### Choose the right ownership path.

Connect an existing number or choose one the workspace holds at Bird. Check migration or eligible Business app coexistence before changing a current registration.

### Complete Embedded Signup.

Bird can receive verification for an eligible held number. A pre-verified number still needs the Meta signup step and the correct business-account selection.

### Match the number to the content.

Own-account templates send from a number on the same WhatsApp Business Account. Free-form service content uses your connected sender and an open customer-service window.
