Export and Import WhatsApp Configuration Data

You can export the following WhatsApp configuration details from one application environment and import them into another:

  • Name and description of WhatsApp messaging providers
  • Allowed list of countries for WhatsApp
  • Daily limits for WhatsApp messages, which includes the system hard limit, candidate message limit, and the system soft limit

These details are exported as a CSV file. When you import the details, the following changes occur in the destination environment:

  • WhatsApp messaging providers that are in the CSV file are added to the existing list of WhatsApp providers.
  • The allowed list of countries and daily limits for WhatsApp messages are replaced with the corresponding data from the CSV file.

Note that the existing functionality for exporting and importing of SMS configuration details remain the same. So, when you perform the export and import tasks, the SMS configurations in the destination environment are also updated as follows:

  • SMS providers from the imported data are added to the existing list of providers
  • Daily limits for SMS are replaced by the imported data
  • Allowed list of countries for SMS are also updated with the imported data
