  • We've launched a new Check Contact API that allows you to verify whether a phone number is registered on WhatsApp before sending a message.

  • This helps you avoid failed message attempts and ensure you're only reaching contacts who can actually receive your WhatsApp messages.

  • Follow this link to get started with the API - https://docs.periskope.app/api-reference/contacts/check-contact
