    This was the single most common error across Envoy customers in mid-2025, affecting 11+ accounts at once.

    Coexistence Mode (WhatsApp Business App + Envoy)

    1
  1. On the phone: Go to WhatsApp Business > Settings > Account > Delete Account
    2. 2
  2. Recreate the WhatsApp Business Account on the phone
    3. 3
  3. In Envoy, re-run the onboarding/Embedded Signup flow
    4. 4
  4. Grant all permissions during Facebook authorization

    5. Non-Coexistence Mode (Cloud API Only)

    1
  5. In Envoy, go to Settings > Channels > WhatsApp
    6. 2
  6. Click Reauthorize
    7. 3
  7. Log in with the admin Facebook account
    8. 4
  8. Grant all permissions

    9. If Neither Works: Check Meta Credit Line

    In mid-2025, Error 200 was traced to Meta's payment/credit line validation blocking template creation and message sending. This is a Meta-side issue, not an Envoy bug.

    Check:

    1
  9. Go to Meta Business Suite > Billing
    10. 2
  10. Verify you have an active payment method
    11. 3
  11. Check for any billing alerts or holds
    12. 4
  12. If there's a credit line issue, resolve it with Meta before retrying in Envoy

    13. If none of the above works:

    1
  13. Your Envoy account URL and channel ID
    14. 2
  14. Whether you're using Coexistence or Non-Coexistence mode
    15. 3
  15. Screenshot of your Meta Billing page (showing payment method status)
    16. 4
  16. The exact error message from Envoy
