Hello @sagarmodhavaniya

Can you explain what you're ultimately trying to accomplish?

Are you using the v3 Node SDK? Would you consider migrating to the v4 SDK?

Yes it's true that the Bot Framework does not currently support WhatsApp, but you can track the progess here: https://github.com/Microsoft/BotFramework-Services/issues/7

There may be workarounds you can implement, as described here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/55367260/2122672

You can see the Twilio API for WhatsApp here: https://www.twilio.com/whatsapp

This article describes some of the longstanding barriers for anyone creating WhatsApp bots even without using the Bot Framework, and it may offer another potential alternative: https://medium.com/@AlfredBaudisch/how-a-whatsapp-bot-got-famous-and-evolved-as-the-brazilian-wechat-and-conversational-commerce-e2213262183d
