The client can update their WABA profile information in their 360dialog Client Hub.

To access the options, in 360dialog Client Hub v1, they need to click on Show details in the specific account they wish to edit and click on the Profile tab.

On 360dialog Client Hub v2, users can manage their Profile Info on the WABA manager page.

    "id": "upload:MTphd..."
}

Step 2: Initiate Upload

Initiate the upload session by sending a POST request and append your upload session {id} along with the authentication header. Upon success, a file handle {h},is returned that you can then use the {h} value to update your profile picture.

[will be deprecated] If the WABA is registered in On-premise API

As announced in November 2023, Meta is transitioning to a fully Cloud-hosted WhatsApp Business Platform and will stop supporting On-Premise API in October 2025.

Starting from On-Premise client v2.53, all new feature updates will be exclusively delivered to Cloud API. While the On-Premise API client will receive quarterly releases, they will focus solely on bug fixes and security patches. From May 15, 2024, 360dialog will not allow for new numbers to be onboarded with On-Premise API. We will continue supporting already registered On-Premise API throughout 2024, but we strongly recommend to start changing the hosting type of numbers to Cloud as soon as possible. Learn here how to integrate with Cloud API.
