More Information About WhatsApp
General Information

- You cannot send a WhatsApp message to a user who has sent you a message more than 24 hours ago or has never messaged you before. WhatsApp prohibits this action.

- If you encounter an "Error message: Re-engagement," it indicates this situation.
Troubleshooting
-
Receiving Messages:
- Ensure you are not assigning the WhatsApp conversations to a department.
- Ensure the WhatsApp number used for testing is not a phone number of a Nulu Business admin or agent.
- Make sure you have correctly set up the WhatsApp webhook URL.

Sending Messages:
- If you cannot send messages, an error should appear in the admin area when you try to send a message to the user.
