# Why do I not see “Create on Meta” or “Publish on Meta”?

You need a **WhatsApp connection** (WABA) linked to your account. If the **Publish On Meta** column shows “No connection”, add or link a connection first. Buttons also depend on **Meta Status**: **Create on Meta** when Not published; **Publish on Meta** when DRAFT; **Update flow on Meta** when DRAFT or PUBLISHED (to push the latest JSON).
