How to create a Developer App?

1. Open https://developers.facebook.com and click on Log In

2. Once you have login with your Facebook account, click on ‘Get Started’

3. Agree to the Terms and click on Continue to proceed to the next steps

4. Enter your email id which was used to log in to the account and then click on Send Verification Email to verify your email address.

5. Enter the verification code/OTP sent to your email id. Click continue and move ahead.

6. Choose your role when creating your Facebook for Developers account. In other words, who are you joining up as? Choose the role as Owner/Founder, then click “Complete Registration”

7. You’ll be directed to a screen where you can create the app right away. To build a new app, select “Create App.” Although you won’t be making an actual app, you still need to make a test app in order to enable verification. 

8. Select the App Type as Business and click Next

9. Give your app a name and input the email address you wish to be connected to it. You can choose any name for the app name, (we recommend to use WhatCX with it, so that it’s easy to recognise the App) and you should ideally use the email address you used to create your Facebook Business Manager account as the app contact email (for the sake of simplicity, because more email IDs may complicate the registration process). Lastly, select the Facebook Business Manager account that is linked. Select “Create App”. You will have to enter the password to proceed.
