# `bird whatsapp numbers coexistence-sync`

## Usage

```bash
bird whatsapp numbers coexistence-sync
```

## Description

Only a number that is also on the WhatsApp Business app has an import. The business
chooses once whether to share its chat history, and that import is complete when
`message_sync_progress` reaches 100. The contacts count is the import audience's
current size and has no end signal.

Reads return JSON.
