By enabling an external event to trigger an action in mid-journey, you can provide a real-time experience for your contacts.

4. Sending no more WhatsApp Messages to the opted-out contacts
If a WhatsApp contact is flagged as opted out, Journey Builder automatically removes the contact from the audience source and doesn’t send a message to them. So, it’s beneficial to eliminate the unnecessary costs for being charged for every message sent from Marketing Cloud to WhatsApp.
