Create WhatsApp subscriber
Add a single pre-verified WhatsApp subscriber to a dashboard.
POST /app/subscribers/whatsapp/subscribers
Creates one pre-verified WhatsApp subscriber. Admin-trusted — no verification template is sent.
Request
See API Basics for required headers.
Body
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
phone | string | Yes | E.164 phone number (e.g. +14155552671). Digits only after +; no spaces or punctuation |
dashboardId | uuid | Yes | Target dashboard |
componentIds | uuid[] | Yes | At least one component on that dashboard |
National numbers (without a leading + and country calling code) are not accepted. On success, the response includes a human-readable phone (e.g. +1 415 555 2671) and the canonical E.164 value in normalizedPhone (used in path parameters for update and delete).
There is no admin-managed (locked) option for WhatsApp — that concept applies only to email.
