Calling journey prepared
Can the call be forwarded to an ordinary phone number?

WhatsApp Business Calling must not be bridged to the public telephone network. Use a supported voice route; ordinary telephone forwarding is not the same integration.

Check the call path.
Keep its boundaries clear.

Move an eligible WhatsApp conversation into a call.

Review eligibility for the direction.

Incoming and business-initiated calls have their own account, country and permission requirements. A successful chat send does not establish that calling is enabled.

Connect a supported voice application.

Define service availability and use the published calling integration. Keep WhatsApp Calling distinct from telephone Voice in routing and charging.

Record the actual result.

Test declined, missed and interrupted calls as well as answered ones. Pass the goal into a human handoff and send a follow-up only when the messaging requirements permit it.

losing control.
