Trying to add a WhatsApp Business API test number to a group

68 Views Asked by At

I've created a Meta app and got a Whatsapp test number. I can write to it and it is send to the webhook fine. But I'd like to add that number to a group so others can send messages to it as well, without necessarily needing to add that weird number.

When trying to do so it says that Business number can't be added to a group.

Is there something I can do? Am I forced to add my own number to the app and convert it to a Business number?

I'd rather not, I'd like to keep mine personal

It's listed nowhere, but unfortunately, Phonenumber accounts that are registered on the WhatsApp Business API are blocked from being added to groups. It's not supported by Meta.
