Checks on the operator side​

  1. Open Marketing › Channels › Channels and check that there is an active channel.
  2. Look for the failed send in Marketing › Messaging › Communication Errors.
  3. If WhatsApp fails, see Meta health.
  4. Check the member's phone and email on their record.
Demo mode

In demo environments the code may fill itself in (Demo mode — auto-signing you in). This is not production behaviour: don't expect to see it in your real account.
