Related restrictions:
1. By default, two BMs are allowed to be created under a meta account.
2. There is currently no clear public figure for the number of WABAs bound to the BM account, but 5-6 seems to be fine. If it exceeds the limit, it will prompt that the limit has been exceeded.
3. One WABA allows two mobile phone numbers to be bound by default.
4. The above restrictions meta will be checked and adjusted regularly according to the usage of the account.
Number migration:
Option: Different BSP (Board Support Package), same BM (Business Manager), different WABA (WhatsApp Business API)
The process is as follows:
1. Customer turns off 2FA for numbers
2. The customer is in the same BM and creates a new WABA in the new BSP. After obtaining the WABA, the customer migrates the number to the same BM and a different WABA.
What happens with migration?
Before migrating, we need to understand the following concepts:
Source WABA: Refers to the WABA account integrated on other BSPs.
Source WABA number: It is the mobile phone number bound to source WABA.
Target WABA: That is to say which new WABA you want to migrate the source WABA to.
Number migration refers to data migration between two WABAs through the source WABA number.
After the migration is successful, the source WABA number will be transferred to the target WABA.
High-quality templates in the source WABA will also be synchronized to the target WABA.
