Set up Designs Claw on Whatsapp

Connect Designs Claw

Link your account once and start creating with Designs Claw.

Important: Use a dedicated number for your WhatsApp Bot

Before you begin the setup, please note that the WhatsApp number you register will become your bot number. WhatsApp will convert this number into a bot account, so do not use your personal WhatsApp number.

Do not use your personal number. Your existing WhatsApp account may be affected when the number is registered as a bot.
Use a separate, dedicated number. You will need a second phone number specifically for your bot.
Make sure you have access to this number during setup, as it may be required for verification.

Connect to WhatsApp

From Designs.ai, go to Connect → Whatsapp and tap Connect Whatsapp. It will open a QR code to link a device to WhatsApp. Scan it with your phone to connect the WhatsApp app to your device.

Verify the linked device

Once your WhatsApp number is connected, the screen will show “Checking for new requests…”. Send a message to the linked WhatsApp number from another phone. The message will appear as a request for you to approve. Once approved, your WhatsApp number will be verified and ready to use with Designs Claw.

Start a conversation with bot

To get started, open WhatsApp and send a message to the bot number you linked during setup. Simply describe what you need in your own words. Designs Claw will ask a few quick questions to understand your brief, then turn it into a finished result.
