    This is way better than your Coursera Course! Thank you!
  • As we know, a business need to get customer opt-ins to send messages. If business sends opt-in message using whatsapp clickable message, is there a option to store the opt-in customer information. or business need to store the opt in information on a database ?

    Hello, we have built an WA App and everything is working fine working with Cloud APIs. Now, we are having an issue trying to create virtual conversations. Similar to the regular application might look. Is this possible? If so can you show/share how. Thanks.

    I have gone through the entire getting started guide with a test business and number, and set up a webhook on my server. I am able to receive and send messages but the reply time to customer messages is very slow, up to a minute, is there a reason for this? maybe because I am still using a test number?
  • Hi, i have been researching into how to handle Different phone numbers / whatsapp accounts inside the same Bussiness Manager account. If i do create an Application and add it a webhook i will get into that webhook endpoint all the messages to all my linked a phone numbers / whatsapp acounts. What would be the propper way to handle this ? I want to give service for different little bussinesses managing myself their phone numbers. Should i get myself all those phone numbers messages into the same webhook endpoint and filter myself ? is it possible to declara a webhook for each phone number ? I would be really glad if u can give some explanation on this.

    About the webhook part, I don't see any sort of token being return to our own web app from the webhook callback, which mean any person could send http request to my application endpoint... Am I missing something though...

    Hi @Dimitry, have the WhatsApp Message Templates been removed from the test accounts? I am trying to follow the webinar but don't have message templates available.
  • Hi, I have a problem that I tried vary hard to figure how to solve it How I can manage WhatsApp messages after activating the number and setting up the permanent token? The Meta help center stated that it will be through the inbox in Meta business suite! But in my case, there is no a WhatsApp tap in the inbox there?

    WhatsApp is the worst developer experience I've ever had. We want to spend around £3,000 a month with them, but if you put in a support request they simply ignore it. Do you want a proper enterprise grade application, with separate phone numbers for Dev, QA, UAT and Production? Good luck with that. If you try and create multiple numbers under one account, they prevent you from adding more than 2. If you create multiple business accounts to try and work around this, they block you. Absolute joke. If I knew what I know now before starting the project, I would have discouraged the client from taking this route. You're effectively running what should be production-grade services without any support, and the weak link in the chain is Meta.

    WABA sucks, everything is made expensive when Meta takeovers which could be free, you all took money from ads already, what else do you want?! I hate all Meta products it sucks btw. Tiktok is much better
