Both regulators and Meta expect explicit consent with an easy withdrawal path.
Why this matters in 2026
Businesses moving off unofficial bulk senders need operational playbooks that respect Meta quality rating, DPDP/GDPR consent and measurable ROI. This article is written for teams implementing WhatsApp Opt-In Checklist for India (DPDP + Meta Policy) on the Cloud API — not WhatsApp Web hacks.
Recommended workflow
- Step 1: Audit every lead source for consent language
- Step 2: Implement consent store with export for DPDP requests
- Step 3: Wire STOP keyword to global suppress list
- Step 4: Separate marketing vs utility consent flags in CRM
- Step 5: Quarterly consent refresh for inactive contacts
Production checklist
- Checkbox off by default on web forms
- Log timestamp, IP and source
- Category-level opt-out where possible
- One-tap STOP in every marketing template
Metrics to track
- Quality rating tier
- Template approval time
- Block rate
- First response time
