It's possible to check the payload validation using the WhatsAppAPI.verifyRequestSignature and expect false when the signature is valid.
function doPost(payload, header_signature) {
if (whatsapp.verifyRequestSignature(payload.toString(), header_signature) {
throw 403;
}
// Now the payload is correctly verified
whatsapp.post(payload);
}
