Add Apilio numeric values to WhatsApp message status review
A status change can be a useful moment to check current numeric values. Notis retrieves Apilio numeric variables and presents their returned data with the event for review.
Trigger
Message Status Updated
Triggers when a WhatsApp message status changes. IMPORTANT LIMITATION: WhatsApp Cloud API does not provide a native polling endpoint for message status. Status updates are ONLY delivered via webhooks in real-time. This trigger cannot directly poll the WhatsApp API for status updates. 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
