# `bird whatsapp numbers profile`

## Usage

```bash
bird whatsapp numbers profile
```

## Description

The profile is what everyone the number messages sees: its address, description,
contact email, websites, category, picture and username. It is read from WhatsApp on
each request rather than from a stored copy, and only a number the workspace connected
itself can be changed.

Reads return JSON. Mutations take flags and/or a --body-file JSON body (flags overriding); run --example to print the body shape or --dry-run to preview the request.
