Validate WhatsApp Account

As a business, you must provide customers with the option to opt in and receive WhatsApp communications, as well as stating your business name in a clear opt-in flow process.
After the customer opts in, use the contacts node to validate the registered number.

For more information, visit: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/guides/opt-in/

Note: Checking too many phone numbers without sending them messages will lead to WA banning you.
Only verify phone numbers critical to your business that you have already received opt-in for.
