Note:
All these parameters are supported for both callback_url and callback profile_id.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
status | Message delivery status. |
price | Price of the conversation opened by the delivered message. Shown only when billed. |
custom_response | The static field is always set to false. |
id | The unique API message ID shared with the customer in the callback. |

mobile | The mobile number of the recipient. |
whatsapp_number | The registered WhatsApp number is in E164 format. |
timestamp | The time at which the callback is received. |

- For the postpaid account type, the price value exists in the callbacks for Delivered status whenever that message opens a conversation and hence it is charged.
- For the Tech Provider account type, the price parameter is not supported.
Limitations
- The callback about the delivered messages that opened any of the first 1000 free service conversations will have a price value pair shown in the callbacks even though the price will not be actually charged.
