Black List (block)

This endpoint allows you to block, unlock and get list of blocked WhatsApp user number.

What happens here?

Sometimes you wish to block a contact number (WhatsApp number) from sending you a message for any kind of reasons.

When you do this, this will happen:

• The user cannot contact your WhatsApp number at all, they won't be able to send you any message (they will see 1 grey check mark).

• You can't message that user too. if you try to send, you will get error.

More Remarks

• You can only block users that have messaged you in the last 24 hours.

• Maximum limit is 64,000 numbers that you can have in your "block list".

Best Practice - how to use

This blacklist can be used for example when you send a template to the user, with one of the buttons being "Unsubscribe", when the user clicks on it you can add him to the block list. This endpoint is not only blocking incoming, but also outgoing messages, it will prevent from your end any future templates you might accidentally trying to send to him again. a real blacklist.

Another use case - if a client sends you unwanted messages (or files), triggering your chat bot or other process and integrations, you can stop his messages by blocking his number.
