# WhatsApp

> Index your WhatsApp conversations in an AI Search collection.

The `whatsapp` source indexes your account's WhatsApp conversations.

## Where this data comes from

WhatsApp records come from [Telnyx WhatsApp Business messaging](https://developers.telnyx.com/docs/messaging/whatsapp/quickstart.md) -- the conversations your account sends and receives through the WhatsApp API are indexed automatically. There is nothing to enable on the source itself; once you are sending and receiving WhatsApp messages, they become searchable.

## Attach the Source

```bash theme={null}
curl -X POST https://api.telnyx.com/v2/ai/collections/{uuid}/sources \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TELNYX_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "source_type": "whatsapp" }'
```

There is no per-source configuration. Narrow searches to WhatsApp with `sources=whatsapp` -- see [Search](https://developers.telnyx.com/docs/ai-search/searching.md).
