Connecting a real WhatsApp channel has a stretch that happens outside the Platform (the messaging provider's own window). There the copilot **never acts on your behalf**: it explains what to do and waits. When you come back, it checks on screen that it was connected and continues.

> Today the "Channels" screen is already in the copilot's manifest (you can ask it "take me to Channels" and it will), but the fine-grained step of "highlight the Connect WhatsApp button" isn't declared yet — it's the next coverage on the way. Until then, the assistant guides with text instead of highlighting the exact button; as soon as that piece of the manifest lands and gets approved, the same case will work with real highlighting, with nothing different for you to do.
