}

Returns a WhatsApp message's lifecycle events in chronological order, one entry per delivery transition (whatsapp.accepted, whatsapp.sent, whatsapp.delivered, whatsapp.read, whatsapp.failed). The timeline is bounded and returned in full, so this list is not paginated; an unknown message ID returns 404. For the message's current state in a single field, use Get a WhatsApp message instead.

Parameters

message_idstring

ID of the message, as returned in the send response's id field.

Query Parameters

typestring

Keep only events of this exact type (for example whatsapp.delivered or whatsapp.failed). Omit for the full timeline.

Possible values (may grow over time): whatsapp.accepted, whatsapp.delivered, whatsapp.failed, whatsapp.read, whatsapp.received, whatsapp.rejected, whatsapp.sent

Response Payload

data

array of object

required

Timeline events for this WhatsApp message, in chronological order. The timeline is bounded and returned in full; this list is not paginated.
