Whatsapp trigger not working #24001

Describe the problem/error/question

I have created a Whatsapp trigger for my workflow.
I have published it as well.
I have setup the webhook on Meta Business and subscribed to messages.

When I send a message, the workflow is not triggered.

I have based myself of this community page: https://community.n8n.io/t/whatsapp-connexion-ok-but-trigger-doesnt-works/245113/4 but however, I do not see “Verify Token” or “Webhook Verify Token” in the node settings.
Unfortunately, It looks like no one on the community page has been able to fix it.

There is no error message but the workflow is not triggered.

What is the error message (if any)?

There is no error message but the workflow is not triggered
