Update WhatsApp subscriber — StatusDashboard Docs

PUT /app/subscribers/whatsapp/subscribers/{dashboardId}/{phone}

Updates service selections for a verified WhatsApp subscriber, or admin-verifies a pending subscriber when verify is true.

Path parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
`dashboardId`	uuid	Dashboard the subscription belongs to
`phone`	string	E.164 subscriber phone (URL-encoded, e.g. `%2B14155552671`)

Request

See API Basics for required headers.

Body

Field	Type	Required	Description
`componentIds`	uuid[]	Yes	Component IDs on the dashboard
`verify`	boolean	No	Set to `true` to activate a pending subscriber

There is no admin-managed (locked) flag for WhatsApp — that concept applies only to email update.

Behavior

Subscriber status	`verify`	`componentIds`	Result
Verified	omitted or `false`	Any (may be empty)	Update selections; empty array stops notifications (`paused: true`)
Verified	`true`	—	`400` — already verified
Pending	`true`	At least one	Admin-verify; no verification text sent
Pending	omitted or `false`	—	`400` — set `verify` to `true`

Pending subscribers already count toward quota while pending; verifying does not consume an additional slot.
