WhatsApp error 200: No access token sent, or a missing permission

The short answer
Error 200 means the request was sent with no access token, as happens on some business-profile reads; codes 200 to 299 mean a missing or removed permission. Send a valid access token with the request, and review the permissions.

What ArabyBot does about it
Happens automatically in your account
- The reason appears in plain words under the message itself in the inbox, on the web and in the phone app, with what to do — instead of Meta's raw English.
- A broadcast stops at the first customer this error hits instead of running through the whole audience, because the next customer would fail the same way; you resume it after the fix.
