Submit a review in Meta Business Support Home to appeal an eligible WhatsApp restriction or ban.

Appeal a restricted or banned WhatsApp Business Account by submitting a review request through Meta. If you believe your account complies with WhatsApp policies, ask Meta to reassess the decision.

If your WhatsApp channel in Klaviyo shows Restricted, Blocked, or Banned, Meta has taken an enforcement action on your account. Klaviyo cannot override or influence Meta’s decisions.

Before you begin

Gather the information you will include in your appeal and confirm you can access the affected account in Meta Business Support Home.

Make sure you can sign in to Meta Business Support Home and access the affected WhatsApp Business Account.
Read WhatsApp Business Messaging Policy.
Prepare your business details and documentation of opt-in consent.

Check the reason for your restriction

Confirm the official reason for the restriction in Meta Business Support Home before you submit a review.

Use Meta’s guidance for accessing Business Support Home to review the affected account’s violation details, active restrictions, and next steps.

Meta provides the official reason for enforcement actions. Klaviyo cannot override or influence Meta’s decisions.

Request a review in Meta

Not all spam violations can be appealed. If Meta does not offer an appeal for your violation, you may need to wait until the restriction period ends before messaging again.

If you believe your account complies with WhatsApp policies, follow Meta’s instructions for requesting a review. Have your business details and an explanation of why you believe the decision is incorrect ready to submit.

After submission, your case moves to the In Review tab in Business Support Home. Meta sends the decision through the Business Manager, typically within 24 to 48 hours. The violation will be marked Unchanged or Reversed.

Prevent future violations

Follow these best practices to reduce the risk of additional restrictions.

Review WhatsApp policies

Read and follow the WhatsApp Business Messaging Policy. Ensure your products, messaging, and use cases comply.

Confirm proper opt-in practices

Message only users who provided clear, valid opt-in consent. Store documentation showing how and when consent was collected.

Monitor account health

Use the WhatsApp deliverability hub to monitor account quality, violations, and restrictions. Meta also emails violation notifications to the admins listed in Business Manager, so keep their contact information up to date.
