This error means the WhatsApp Business Account connected to your request is not eligible to send messages through the Marketing Messages Lite API. It can also appear when the WABA uses the On-Behalf-Of model or when direct send messaging is not available for that WABA.

Possible causes

  • The WhatsApp Business Account you are using is not eligible for MM Lite API.
  • The WhatsApp Business Account uses the On-Behalf-Of model.
  • Direct send messaging is not available for this WABA right now.

  • If direct send access is not available, appeal the use case and try again after activation is restored.
