WhatsApp Business API – Phone Number Migration

On July 9, 2021 | 3 Minutes Read
GenericWhatsApp Business API

Businesses who have directly integrated with the WhatsApp Business API can now migrate their WhatsApp phone numbers from one Facebook Business Manager account to another. This allows flexibility to the businesses to offer the best experience to their customers.

Once the migration is complete, a phone number can still be attached to its display name, quality status, messaging limits, Official Business Account status, and any high quality message templates which have been previously approved. Phone number migration does not necessarily create any downtime in sending messages, and does not affect billing and invoicing.

The migration process is initiated by the Business Solution Providers and involves a source WABA (the account with whom the phone number is registered) and a destination WABA ( the account where the phone number will be migrated). Also, only Business Solution Providers and the businesses directly integrated with the WhatsApp Business API can perform the phone number migration. To know more about the WABA migration process in detail, read through this post.

To migrate your WABA to Gupshup, fill in the Early Request Form and we will let you know as soon as migration is available by WhatsApp.
