# E15071 — WhatsAppReferencedMessageNotFound

No WhatsApp message with this id exists in this workspace.

- **HTTP status**: `404`
- **Type**: `not_found_error`
- **Name**: `WhatsAppReferencedMessageNotFound`

## What to do

Check the id against GET /v1/whatsapp/messages. Bird keeps the WhatsApp correlation for 15 days, so a message older than that is not found here even while it still reads back, and an id another workspace holds is not found rather than forbidden.
