# POST /connections/{phoneNumber}/presence-subscribe

`POST /connections/{phoneNumber}/presence-subscribe`

Subscribe to presence updates for one or more JIDs. Presence updates will be forwarded via the `presence.update` webhook event. Subscriptions are ephemeral, so re-subscribe periodically for continuous monitoring. LID JIDs are automatically resolved to phone number JIDs before subscribing.

## Path parameters

- `phoneNumber` string, required

## Request body

- object
  - `jids` string[], required — Array of JIDs to subscribe to presence updates

## Response `200`

Presence subscription result

## Other responses

- `403` — Forbidden — the API key does not own this connection. Returned when a connection is bound to a different API key.
- `421` — Misdirected Request — in cluster mode, this instance does not own the connection. The owning instance id is in the x-baileys-owner header; a proxy re-routes the request there. Not returned for the explicit-takeover routes: POST /connections/{phoneNumber}, /import-session and /restart.
