## **Connecting a WhatsApp Account:**

To connect a WhatsApp account, simply input a preferred name prefix and the WhatsApp number, including the country code. Clicking the "Create" button initiates the account creation process, displaying a "connecting" status. A table with basic information and action buttons for each account will be visible.

## **Actions and Icons:**

* **QR Icon:** Used to connect an account when it's in "connecting" or "close" status by generating and scanning a QR code from WhatsApp.
* **Eye Icon:** Provides additional information about the instance, including profile picture, original WhatsApp number, and the account's current status.
* **Trash Icon:** Allows the removal of a WhatsApp account.

## **Importance of Connecting a WhatsApp Account:**

Connecting a WhatsApp account is crucial, as it forms the foundation for various functionalities, including [Bulk Sender](/home/product-guides/bulk-sender.md), [Group Manager](/home/product-guides/group-manager.md), [Verify Numbers](/home/product-guides/verify-numbers.md), and [Scraper](/home/product-guides/scraper.md) Number from Groups.

The only feature not requiring a connected account is [Contacts](/home/product-guides/contacts.md).
{% endhint %}

## **Account States:**

* **Open:** Successfully connected to our platform after scanning the QR code.
* **Connecting:** Awaiting connection as our services attempt to link to the WhatsApp account.
* **Close:** Indicates a previous connection that was either never scanned or was disconnected after a successful connection.
