This trigger will return empty results as WhatsApp does not support this operation. To track message status updates, you must: 1. Set up a webhook endpoint to receive status notifications from WhatsApp 2. Store the webhook data in your own database 3. Use a different mechanism to query your stored webhook data For more information, see: - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/webhooks
