How do I ensure that I have the real user consent (explicit opt-in) about the receiving Whatsapp messages of our platform ? What's the informations do I need to persist in my database ?

When i am trying to send message via CURL i am getting error

{"meta":{"version":"v2.25.2","api_status":"stable"},"errors":[{"code":1014,"title":"Internal error","details":"Connection refused. Please check if wacore is running: wacore:6250"}] 

i killed containers multiple time but still getting same error, while waweb is working as usual i am able to import certificate and get tokens.

Below is the log of wacore container

It will be great help if someone can guide me the exact problem to resolve.

Following is the configuration which i used. BTW.

wacore: image: docker.whatsapp.biz/coreapp:v${WA_API_VERSION:?Run docker-compose with env var WA_API_VERSION (ex. WA_API_VERSION=2.23.4 docker-compose )} command: ["/opt/whatsapp/bin/wait_on_mysql.sh", "/opt/whatsapp/bin/launch_within_docker.sh"] volumes: - whatsappMedia:/usr/local/wamedia env_file: - db.env environment: # This is the version of the docker templates being used to run WhatsApp Business API WA_RUNNING_ENV_VERSION: v2.2.3 ORCHESTRATION: DOCKER-COMPOSE network_mode: bridge

i want to integrate Whatsapp Business API from facebook business manager.

As per the steps to create WhatsApp account, given in blog (https://www.facebook.com/business/help/2087193751603668?id=2129163877102343)

Steps done by me :

• First i was created Facebook Business Manager account.
• Then i was completed business verification in Business Manager.
• As per above blog , after business verification "Whatsapp Account" option will enabled for me.like this image. (Whatsapp accounts option is enable (option show))
• Here my business verification verified successfully.but after successfully verification i cant able to show "Whatsapp Accounts" option.like this image (Whatsapp accounts option is not show)

However, I don't see link of "WhatsApp Accounts" in "Accounts" section though my business is verified here. I don't how to proceed ahead without "WhatsApp Accounts" link.

Please guide us for further steps for creating "WhatsApp Accounts" and get the certificate.

What are the restrictions for Whatsapp Business API Groups.

Can I send messages all the time, or are these messages also restricted by the 24hr session time. How many groups can I create, could I e.g. create 100 groups, 1 for every person attending some event?

Is there anywhere I can find the pricing for creating these groups?

I am building a Node.js application that receives messages from WhatsApp via Twilio. Sending text messages is not a problem, but when I try to send the current location from the users WhatsApp account I cannot find the coordinates in the request object sent to the server.

This is what I am doing to see what is being sent to the app from Twilio.

app.post('/incoming', (req, res) => { var incomingMessage = req.body.Body; console.log(incomingMessage); }); 

When I share my current location with the app, the request body is empty.

Can anyone shed any light on this or explain how WhatsApp shares a users location within the app?

Thanks.
