Registration
To complete business phone number migration, make a POST call to the PHONE_NUMBER_ID/register endpoint and include the parameters listed below.
Your request could take as long as 15 seconds to finish. During this period, your On-Premises deployment is automatically disconnected from WhatsApp servers and shut down; the business number will start up in Cloud API at the same time.
After the request finishes successfully, you can resume sending messages.
Throughput
If you migrate a business phone number that has multiconnect running 2 or more shards from On-Premises API to Cloud API, it will automatically be upgraded to higher throughput.
Parameters
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Required. Messaging service used for the request. In this case, use “WhatsApp”. |
| Required. A 6-digit pin you have previously set up. If you use the wrong pin, your on-premise deployment will be down and will be disconnected from the WhatsApp servers. If you haven't set up or you have disabled two-step verification, provide a random 6-digit pin in the request, and this will be used to enable two-step verification in the WhatsApp Business Cloud-Based API. |
| Required. The data value you get when you backup your on-premise deployment. This contains the account registration info and application settings. See Backup and Restore to backup your on-premise implementation. |
| Required. The password you used in the backup API of your On-Premises deployment. |

All API calls require authentication with access tokens.
