Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the problem:

Twilio Configuration:

Double-check your Twilio configuration, ensuring that the Twilio phone number associated with your WhatsApp Channel is correctly set up. Verify that the Account SID and Auth Token are accurate.

Formatting of WhatsApp Number:

Ensure that the WhatsApp number provided to Twilio and configured in Omnichannel follows the international format, including the country code. This is crucial for correct number validation.

Twilio Sandbox:

If you're using the Twilio Sandbox for WhatsApp, make sure you've opted into the sandbox and that your WhatsApp number is approved in the Twilio console.

Omnichannel Channel Configuration:

Check the configuration settings within the Omnichannel channel. Confirm that the WhatsApp number is correctly entered, and there are no typos.

Dynamics 365 Settings:

Verify the format of mobile numbers in your Dynamics 365 environment. Ensure that they align with Twilio's expectations for validation.

Exception Details:

Examine the exception details thrown by CRM. It might provide more specific information about what is causing the validation error. This can be helpful in pinpointing the issue.

Twilio Support:

If the issue persists, consider reaching out to Twilio support. They can assist in troubleshooting any configuration issues on their end and ensure that your WhatsApp number is correctly set up.

Testing with Another Number:

As a diagnostic step, try validating another WhatsApp number through Twilio to see if the issue is specific to the number or a broader configuration problem.

Remember to test each step carefully and document any error messages or details provided by the systems. This information can be valuable when seeking assistance from Twilio support or the D365 community. I hope this helps in resolving the validation issue! 🌐📱
