# E15063 — WhatsAppDestinationRestricted

Bird's shared WhatsApp sender does not deliver to this destination.

- **HTTP status**: `422`
- **Type**: `validation_error`
- **Name**: `WhatsAppDestinationRestricted`

## What to do

A Bird-managed template sends from Bird's own WhatsApp registration, and that registration does not carry authentication messages to this country. Send from a number you connected yourself, using a template you authored on your own WhatsApp Business Account. Verify reaches this destination too: when WhatsApp cannot carry a passcode it moves the session to the next channel in that country's routing, so a verification needs no change as long as another channel is enabled there.
