How to Avoid WhatsApp Business API Account Bans
By 5MinutesAPI Support•
The Meta Quality Score
Meta enforces strict anti-spam policies. Your phone number is assigned a Quality Rating (Green, Yellow, or Red). If users frequently block or report your messages, your rating drops to Red, and Meta may permanently ban your number.Best Practices for Safety
- Strict Opt-In: Never buy lists. Only message users who have explicitly opted-in to receive WhatsApp alerts from your brand on your website or app.
- Provide an Opt-Out Button: Always include an interactive "Stop Promotions" button in your marketing templates. When a user taps it, your backend should instantly remove them from the broadcast list.
- Ramp Up Slowly: Don't blast 10,000 users on day one. Send 500 messages, monitor the delivery and read rates via 5MinutesAPI webhooks, and scale gradually.
