Q: Whatsapp number for OTP
When getting started and you need to apply a 'clean' phone number, this is the number that Lancepilot will send from right?
But will it still continue to work with his number when we have lost access to it and cannot OTP again?
Will temporary Phone numbers be recycled to be used again?
I suppose my question is, if the OTP is just for the first OTP, how can Lancepilot and Whatsapp maintain the integrity of the unique phone number being accessible and ongoing?
I hope my concern makes sense, thanks

Jan 16, 2025A: Thanks for your questions! Here's the breakdown:
1. You're correct.
2. I recommend using a number you have access to, like VYKE, or simply buy a new physical SIM.
3. If you use a temporary number, it should still work with LancePilot since it’s already connected to the Meta Cloud API. But, it’s better to use a number you can keep long-term.
4. Meta doesn’t require extra OTPs right now, but if they do in the future, it could be an issue.
Hope this clears things up! If you have more questions, feel free to reach out anytime. Thanks!

If for some reason the primary phone number 'fails' or gets 'un-connected', we can just connect a new number to Lancepilot system and carry on as normal?
Do you think there will be any problems with Whatsapp API approval doing this?
Just switch it out for a new one? Just trying to fully understand :)
Thanks
istiakahmadPLUSSo the thing is, Its better you use a number which you have access to. Virtual one numbers sometime fails . You can definitely retry but multiple retry could get you problem. Please watch our setup video here : https://youtu.be/Kz0QTc_YXfE
