# WhatsApp (Evo Go)

This option connects the platform to WhatsApp using **Evolution Go**, which leverages the official WhatsApp Web protocol through QR code authentication.

### Connection Flow

1. Select **Type: WhatsApp Web**.
2. Define the channel name and description.
3. Assign a responder (Agent or Squad).
4. Click **Create Channel**.
5. A **QR Code** will appear automatically.

### QR Code Authentication

* Open the WhatsApp app on your phone.
* Navigate to **Linked Devices → Add Device**.
* Scan the QR Code displayed on the screen.
* The connection will be established within a few seconds.

Once the QR code is read successfully, the Agent can send and receive messages through that WhatsApp number.\
If the channel is deactivated, message routing stops immediately.

> 🕐 QR codes are valid for **40 seconds** — if the connection fails, refresh the page or restart the pairing process.
