# Introduction

> Welcome to the Connexease Gateway API documentation.

Welcome to the Connexease Gateway API documentation.

The **Connexease Gateway** is a high-performance, stateless proxy designed to seamlessly connect your applications with the official Meta WhatsApp Cloud API.
Our gateway is heavily optimized for **ultra-low latency** and **high throughput**. When you send bulk marketing messages or build real-time AI chatbots, our gateway processes your requests with sub-millisecond overhead. You will never experience HTTP bottlenecks on your end.

Instead of dealing with Meta's complex error structures, token refreshes, and direct webhooks, our Gateway simplifies the entire process. It provides enhanced features like unified error handling, automated rate limiting, and real-time billing validation — all while maintaining the exact payload structure of the official WhatsApp API.

## Dashboard

The **Connexease Gateway Dashboard** is the visual control panel for your entire WhatsApp Business API setup. No code required — manage everything from account creation to live message monitoring in one place.

With the Dashboard you can:

* **Register and set up your account** — complete onboarding in 3 steps: account credentials, WhatsApp identity verification, and organization details.
* **Create and manage apps** — each app maps to a WhatsApp Business account with its own API keys, phone number, and webhook configuration.
* **Connect Meta** — link your Meta Business account directly from the dashboard to go live and start sending messages.
* **Manage templates** — create, submit, and track the approval status of WhatsApp message templates.
* **Configure webhooks** — set your callback URL and subscribe to the events your integration needs.
* **Monitor billing** — top up your wallet, manage your payment method, and download past invoices.
