Risks for business#
Blocking a number means losing contact with customers, and with it comes a loss of revenue and customer trust. Business processes can be disrupted while an account is blocked, and to prevent this, it's important to use the WhatsApp API promptly to keep important information separate from your WhatsApp account. Complaints from competitors, IP address changes, and many other factors can sometimes lead to your account being blocked.
Every minute is lost money because customers are unwilling to message or call you through another channel. Unavailability of a communication channel can accumulate negativity, encouraging customers to switch to competitors who are slightly more responsive to avoid being banned.
Recovering an account or lifting a ban can take a significant amount of time and resources. During this time, the business is deprived of a communication channel, and the losses can be both financial and reputational. In some cases, account recovery is impossible, which can lead to the permanent loss of the communication channel.
How to Reduce the Risk of Blocking#
