Whatsapp BSUID REQUEST_CONTACT_INFO

We’re using Sunshine Conversations through Zendesk integration in our system.
Since our system is based on phone numbers for authentication and identification in support chats, in the upcoming BSUID change in whatsapp, we will have to request the user’s phone number if he doesn’t have one, using REQUEST_CONTACT_INFO button (https://developers.facebook.com/documentation/business-messaging/whatsapp/business-scoped-user-ids#requesting-phone-numbers-from-users)

Unfortunately I haven’t seen or received any help from Zendesk support about how to create and receive the response’s webhook (contacts webhook).

Hi ​@ZionTayeb, sorry for the delay here! To be honest, I’m not super familiar with this update myself, however I did see that we have an article here that I think gives you the information that you’re looking for. Please let me know if that doesn’t do it though and I’ll be happy to reach out internally to find someone who can help!
