Identify, disconnect or reconnect a connected whatsapp number
An Admin confirms which physical number a connection represents from its verified business name and quality/tier details, and disconnects or reconnects it as needed — the WhatsApp-specific instance of the generic FR-15 lifecycle actions.
When this happens: Admin opens the connection detail screen.
Step by step
- 1
Open the connection detail for a WhatsApp number and reviews its verified business name, masked number, WABA id, quality rating and messaging-limit tier.
- 2
Confirm this is the correct number, and (if needed) clicks Disconnect or Reconnect.
Applies the generic FR-15 disconnect or reconnect action, re-running Embedded Signup for the same
phone_number_idon reconnect.
Good to know
- Disconnecting does not deregister the number or WABA on Meta's side; that remains managed in Meta Business Manager.
- Reconnect updates the existing
ChannelConnectionrow in place — it never creates a duplicate for the samephone_number_id.
