[GOWS] - Failed to connect to gows after linking WhatsApp Business account to the Business Platform - "Invalid HMAC" error
I have connected my WhatsApp Business account to the Meta Business Platform as shown in the following link: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/embedded-signup/custom-flows/onboarding-business-app-users?cft[0]=AZWS9YLHqdhFoyUkZJAegAOnXV4q5uFL997iSweF1U74x7vb5cmSDFZ0RXBi7oyQF4XVXUP6wnvWGecrHPu2dP1dHk2WWpMHgWlB-7vEBfOHMf9VufsU_7tC-WhJ9QSAfjhtqffmUjuT6I682B2QFkqbi3024THW2QW-_Xgfl5sEAqLD8v3LMStBBjMbbm7NdWVwM5SbU3dy4_HPUYzRFaSK&tn=-U-UK-R#linked-devices
Now, when I try to scan the QR code to connect to "gows", I receive the following error messages:

Hi @devlikepro,
I’m experiencing the same issue. After connecting my WhatsApp Business account to the Meta Business Platform, I’m unable to connect with Waha.

Yes @devlikepro , after connecting my WhatsApp Business to Meta Business Suite, all sessions were logged out. I successfully reconnected via web.whatsapp.com by scanning the QR code again.
Intersting, could you try WEBJS engine? Looks like NOWEB/GOWS missed some logic related to those suite 🤔
