Updating Phone ID and Business Account ID in Whatsapp Inbox

TLDR pg sought help to update Phone ID and Business Account ID in a Whatsapp Inbox to avoid losing conversations. tejaswini inquired about its hosting, and sojan_official suggested future inquiries to be made through in-app support for faster response.

I have a Whatsapp Inbox set up for a phone. I then deleted and recreated the phone number in Whatsapp's admin. This means that the phone-number-id has changed, even though everything else has stayed the same - phone number, API key, etc. I can't seem to change the " Phone number ID " and " Business Account ID " of the inbox, but I assume its do-able from the db directly. Can someone please help me? This would mean I won't lose all my conversations in that inbox. If i end up creating a second inbox, the webhook URL would be the same right (since its the same number). So does chatwoot know to send webhooks to both inboxes or just the newest one?
