WhatsApp Numbers → Update Number

AI-generated

Overview

The "Update Number" operation for the WhatsApp Numbers resource allows users to modify the configuration and metadata of a specific WhatsApp number managed via the WaliChat API. This node operation is useful when you want to update settings such as enabling or disabling the number, changing its alias or description, adjusting billing plans, managing webhook notifications, setting reboot policies, retention policies, or controlling message delivery speed.

Practical examples include:

Disabling a WhatsApp number temporarily without deleting it.
Changing the display name (alias) of a WhatsApp number for easier identification.
Updating the billing plan to upgrade or downgrade service levels.
Restricting webhook notifications to certain endpoints for better event management.
Setting data retention policies to comply with privacy requirements.
Adjusting message delivery speed to control throughput and avoid rate limits.
