Hello fellow developers,

I hope you're all doing well. I am currently setting up a bot (LLM agent) using WhatsApp API and a Flask application hosted on Azure.

As recommended in Azure's tutorial, I have a startup.txt with the following command

gunicorn --bind=0.0.0.0 --timeout 600 --chdir src/whatsapp_agent/whatsapp_agent run:app

which runs locally without an issue.

Once it is deployed on Azure, however, the webhook setting from WhatsApp API (Edit Whatsapp Business Account subscription) returns the following error:

The URL couldn't be validated. Callback verification failed with the following errors: curl_errno = 28; curl_error = Operation timed out after 6000 milliseconds with 0 bytes received; HTTP Status Code = 200; HTTP Message = Connection established

Did anyone run into a similar issue and managed to solve it?

Many thanks!

I am trying to integrate Google Ad Words and Salesforce and I am trying to fetch the campaign_budget.amount_micros and 'daily budget date'. I am getting the budget amount from campaign_budget.amount_micros. However, I am not sure the exact field which stores the date.

I tried checking the query validator but still couldn't figure out the exact field or even if the date is actually stored or not. https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/fields/v16/campaign_query_builder

I am trying to connect to the Google Ads API, so I will be able to manage campaigns and apply rules to them but to maintain a connection I need an OAuth Refresh Token. In the Google documentation, it says to install the OAuth2l but I was not able to install it.

Is there an alternative way to generate a refresh token?

Note: I tried to install the OAuth2l from the git link in the Google documents but it was not successful!

I am writing to report a critical issue I have been experiencing with the WhatsApp Business Cloud API. When sending template messages that include parameters, I have consistently observed a delay of approximately 1 minute or more before the messages are delivered to the recipients. This delay is causing significant inconvenience and negatively impacting the user experience for my application.
Upon researching this issue, I have found several open tickets and community articles discussing similar problems, some of which have remained unresolved for over a year. This suggests that the issue is not isolated and is affecting a considerable number of developers relying on the WhatsApp Business Cloud API.
As a developer utilizing your API, I kindly request your urgent attention and assistance in resolving this delay in sending template messages with parameters. The timely delivery of messages is crucial for maintaining a seamless user experience and ensuring the effectiveness of my application.
I would greatly appreciate if you could prioritize the investigation and resolution of this issue. Please provide an update on the expected timeline for a fix and any potential workarounds or best practices that can help mitigate the impact of this delay in the meantime.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your response and a swift resolution to this long-standing issue.

I am sending a template message. When I send it without a variable, the message goes quickly. However, when I send a message with a variable {{1}}, it takes about 1 minute to be delivered. Today is April 14, 2024
