Sending whatsapp message via whatsapp business cloud node

Describe the problem/error/question

What is the error message (if any)?

WhatsApp Business Cloud Send message / Send template nodes return “accepted” (and even a wamid), but no message is delivered to the handset. The same flow can receive inbound messages via the WhatsApp Trigger. Meta’s Test WABA dashboard also shows “0 messages sent.”

This started after updating to the latest n8n build. Community reports suggest a regression in the WA node.

What is the error message (if any)?

No node error. Node resolves with 200 and payload like:

{
  "messaging_product": "whatsapp",
  "contacts": [{ "input": "16502017592", "wa_id": "16502017592" }],
  "messages": [{ "id": "wamid.HBgLM...IyMTM4QjQA" }]
}

…but handset gets nothing and Test WABA = 0 messages sent.
