# Verify the Meta re-verification code for a BYO WhatsApp number

`POST /v1/accounts/{accountId}/whatsapp/verify-code`

Submits the OTP Meta sent in response to POST /v1/accounts/{accountId}/whatsapp/request-code.
This only verifies the number with Meta; it does not register it on the Cloud API.
Call POST /v1/accounts/{accountId}/whatsapp/register afterward to complete activation.

## Path parameters

- `accountId` string, required

## Request body

  - `code` string, required — The 6-digit code Meta sent to the phone. Non-digit separators (e.g. "749-456") are stripped automatically.

## Response `200`

Number verified with Meta

- object
  - `verified` boolean
  - `accountId` string
  - `phoneNumberId` string

## Other responses
