# Add Synced User

> How to add a Coral synched user

With Coral, you have the ability to onboard and sync all direct chats for a user who is on the WhatsApp Business App (this functionality is also known as WhatsApp co-existence).  You can add this functionality to an existing Coral user, or you can onboard a completely new Coral user so that their user account has this functionality from the start.  Follow the process detailed below for both situations.

## Requirements

* The process must be initiated in the Coral dashboard by a person who is both a Coral admin and an admin of your organization’s Meta Business Portfolio.
* The person whose business phone number you want to sync must participate by being ready to receive a WhatsApp message to their phone number and verify that they approve.
* The business phone number you want to sync must be on the WhatsApp Business App (not the regular WhatsApp app) and actively used on the WhatsApp Business App for at least a week before syncing.

## How to sync

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Launch the WhatsApp window">
    Click "Add Synched User" and then “Continue with Facebook”.  This step will open a pop-up window on facebook.com. Do not close the pop-up window or navigate to a different Coral website or close the Coral page. You will need the Coral window for later steps in this guide.  Do not copy the URL of the pop-up window to send to another user as registration will fail. You must complete all of these steps using the same browser session in order for the data exchange between Meta and Coral to work properly and register you.
