Frequently asked questions answered
What can you retain after migrating from one WhatsApp API provider to another?
When migrating to Messegy, these are the information retained:
-
Registered phone number
-
Display name
-
Quality rating
-
WhatsApp Blue Tick status
-
Messaging limits
-
Previously approved high-quality WhatsApp template messages.
Approved high-quality templates are ready for use immediately after migration. These templates do not require re-approval.
Interesting fact: Template quality rating does not get migrated as Meta creates a duplicate of the existing high quality templates so they are treated as fresh templates and hence do not have quality rating associated with them.
