I've gone through the whole flow of whatsapp business api with embedded signup. I'm facing two issues.

  1. I've gone through the embed signup step and getting the right responses, access tokens, etc. The issue I am having is that after subscribing to a webhook, any messages sent to the registered phone number is not triggering the whatsapp webhook I've built on my server. I do see the log for the verification being checked to make sure it is available but not getting any message events.

  2. Randomly after experiencing the above issue, the registered phone number stopped working and now when trying with new numbers, it the whatsapp business app keeps saying try again in one hour. how do i fix this?

Thanks for any help in advance!

If I have wamid, is there a way to retrieve all message information, including whether it was sent, delivered, or read via the API?

I am receiving via webhook status sent, delivered and read, however, the wamid sent in the webhook is different from the message with text content

I need to update the status (sent, delivered and read) of the message with text content.

The first message with text content has a different wamid than the warning via webhook with the information sent, deliveres and read

Using Twilio API to send WhatsApp messages using Python. Sending rate is about 1 message per second. Have a confirmed business account with Meta/WhatsApp and the phone number is approved for 1,000 business-initiated messages per 24-hour period.

Trying to do some type of load test by sending messages to a single number - my number. All is good for 50+ messages and then I get the above error. Neiter the API rate limit nor the max messages per day are being exceeded.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have looked at the error code documentation and it does not seem to fit the situation. I have tried Twilio web support but no response yet.

I am trying to use Meta Cloud API to send an image as whatsapp message, but I don't want to upload it anywhere, can't i just send the binary buffer?

something like this:

const formData = new FormData(); formData.append('messaging_product', 'whatsapp'); formData.append('recipient_type', 'individual'); formData.append('to', content.to); formData.append('type', 'image'); formData.append(     'file',     content.image_buffer,     {         filename: 'image.png',         contentType: 'image/png',     } ); 

I was using a service (Business Solution Provider) that allowed me to send the image directly as binary buffer. Now i will use Meta Cloud API, but didn't find anything like this in the docs

I've setup a WhatsApp Business to test WhatsApp API for sending messages. I've followed the getting started guide, but when I send a test message from the main interface of WhatsApp API, the message is sent but is not received by the recipient, even though there is a template approved by Facebook

As shown in the pictures, when I press send message, the sending succeeds but the recipient receives nothing

update : i added a real number ( not using a facebook testing number ) also did not work
