My WhatsApp Cloud API is almost ready inside Meta Business Manager, yet the business phone number stubbornly sits in “Pending” status. I have already opened a ticket with WhatsApp Support, re-checked every verification detail, and even restarted the entire setup flow, but nothing has moved the needle. Beyond clearing that roadblock, I want the whole configuration double-checked so the moment the number is approved everything runs smoothly—webhooks should fire in real time, message templates must pass approval and render correctly, and user-permission settings need to be airtight for my team. If you know your way around Meta’s Graph API console, Cloud API endpoints, and webhook subscriptions, this should be a quick win. Deliverables • Phone number moved from “Pending” to active and ready for messaging • Webhook endpoint verified and receiving status callbacks without errors • Existing and new message templates validated and usable • User-role permissions reviewed so staff can access the API as intended • A brief hand-off note outlining what was fixed and any future maintenance tips I’ll grant Meta Business Manager access as soon as we start, and I’m happy to jump on a quick call or share Loom videos if you need more context. Once the number is live and the above boxes are ticked, I’ll consider the job complete and release payment immediately.
