I've recently been trying to get all messages sent and received by a Whatsapp Business account. At the moment im using the MessageBird API in order to do this, but as soon as I add the phone number in Facebook Whatsapp Manager im not able to use the number on the Whatsapp Business App. (Phonenumber is invalid)

What am I doing wrong? All I want to do is:

  • Use the phonenumber in the WA Business App to send and receive messages.
  • Use the phonenumber in the MessageBird API to get a list of conversations and all messages sent and received in this conversation.

    Unfortunately, this is not possible. Once the number is registered with WhatsApp Business API it cannot be used with the Consumer or SMB App.
