See the chats an ad started, who is replying, and take over from automation.

Quick answer

Every chat started from a Click-to-WhatsApp ad lands in your Team Inbox, tagged from ad. From an ad's results you can open Conversations from this campaign to see just those chats and select Take over to reply yourself.

Where to find it: Ads Manager, then an ad's resultsOpen page

This view is the Team Inbox filtered to one campaign. The list shows each contact, a message preview, a status badge and their consent status. Select a chat to read the thread, which starts with a Started from your ad card naming the campaign.

Common questions

Why is the list empty?

Chats appear as soon as people tap your ad and message you on WhatsApp. A new or paused ad may not have any yet.

What does the consent badge show?

Whether that contact has opted in. Manage opt-ins in Manage consent and opt-outs.
