How can I update my logo and business profile for my WhatsApp account?
When you submit a Twilio phone number to be enabled for WhatsApp, you must provide a display name to appear on your in-app profile for WhatsApp users. It's also recommended to provide additional information, such as your business address and a link to your logo.
If you don't initially submit this information or need to change something, you can update your profile information via the Twilio Console. To update your profile info for a WhatsApp sender, visit the WhatsApp Senders page in the Twilio Console and click on the sender you wish to edit.
Can I start a conversation via WhatsApp through Pipedrive's messaging inbox?
