Playground

Sample Error Response

If a message fails validation (e.g., missing header video link or insufficient balance), the API will successfully process the rest of the batch, but return status: false with the exact error for the failed item.

StatusCode 200

    "status": true,
    "batch_id": "820f15fc-9ab0-4393-950a-7c3e50f6f345",
    "results": [
        {
            "status": false,
            "message": "Validation failed: The header.link field is required when header.type is video.",
            "data": {
                "phone": "254708361797",

            }
        }
    ]
}

Delivery Receipts Structure

If you provide a delivery_endpoint in your request, we will automatically POST real-time status updates back to your server as Meta processes the message.

    "message_id": 145,
