For 360Dialog On-Premise hosting type, the default deployment will happen to Google's Cloud Platform hosting centre in Frankfurt, Germany.
The following regions are currently supported by Cloud API Local Storage:
APAC: India, Singapore, Indonesia, South Korea, Japan, Australia
LATAM: Brazil
MEA: South Africa, Bahrain
Europe: EU (Germany), UK, Switzerland
NORAM: Canada
When migrating or onboarding your number to the Cloud API, you must specify the local storage region during the process. With local storage enabled, the Cloud API stores message content in the selected region instead of its default storage in the US.
If local storage is not defined or disabled, the Cloud API will default to its US-based storage.
No, there is no such feature.
WhatsApp Business API supports location sharing, but real-time location sharing is currently unsupported and will result in “Message type is unsupported”.
Our servers are working only in HTTP SSL connection on port 443 (standard for HTTPS).
No, that is not possible. Since the API system is a programming language, accounts that are connected to an API system can only message accounts that are connected to an APP system, and not to another API system.
c) You request a phone number for countries or regions where WhatsApp/Facebook do not operate. See the list below.
