ComplianceWhen Meta or your BSP reviews a template appeal or account, "we had their number" is not opt-in evidence — they want per-contact proof: timestamp, source, exact wording and scope. This 2026 guide covers what triggers a review, the record fields that make consent defensible, retention, what WhatsApp already stores vs what only you can log, and a 24-hour evidence-pack checklist. RichAutomate logs consent at capture: WABA you own, ₹0 platform/setup/monthly, Client Pay ₹0.10/msg or SaaS Pay ₹1.20 marketing / ₹0.30 utility.
DeliverabilityMoving a WhatsApp API number to a new BSP breaks more than the number: the two-step PIN locks you out, templates and chat history do not transfer, and session windows reset — while quality rating and messaging tier follow the number. This 2026 guide covers what transfers vs resets, the PIN trap, near-zero-downtime cutover, a pre-handover checklist and a cutover-day runbook. RichAutomate: WABA you own, no lock-in, ₹0 platform/setup/monthly, Client Pay ₹0.10/msg or SaaS Pay ₹1.20 marketing / ₹0.30 utility.
