Meta WhatsApp Error Code 130472 (WABA User in Experiment) — Recipient in Meta A/B Test Group — Fix

Overview

Error code #130472 — "User in Experiment". The message wasn't sent because the recipient is in a Meta internal experiment group. This is a platform limitation — it can't be overridden.

Why This Happens

• Meta runs A/B experiments on roughly 1% of users, and withholds delivery to those users to keep the experiment valid.

What to Do

1. Accept this as a platform limitation — it's not a fault on your account.
2. Reach the recipient via an alternative channel (email, SMS, call) if the message is important.
