Urgent: "Generic user error" blocking WhatsApp Template use
1

Hi,

I've been encountering a persistent "Generic user error" when attempting to send messages using the WhatsApp Messaging API with templates. This issue has been occurring for the past 8 days. Previously, the template sending functionality was working without problems. Only this is working for the test template provide by facebook i.e. "hello_world"

Details:

API Endpoint: (https://graph.facebook.com/v19.0/{{phone_number_id}}/messages)

Payload:

{
    "messaging_product": "whatsapp",
    "to": "+919870970092",
    "type": "template",
    "template": {
        "name": "product_public_course_launched",
        "language": {
            "code": "en_US"
        },
        "components": [
            {
                "type": "header",
                "parameters": [
                    {
                        "type": "image",
                        "image": {
                            "link": "https://gcubelmsqc.gc-solutions.net/Product/Control/ThumbnailGenerator.aspx?LoggedIn=0&Canvas=true&ImageWidth=198&ImageHeight=132&directLink=true&ImageFile=/Content/Specific/Images/SmartContent.jpg"
                        },
                        "text": null
                    }
                ]
            },
            {
                "type": "body",
                "parameters": [
                    {
                        "type": "text",
                        "image": null,
                        "text": "Vineet g2181"
                    },
                    {
                        "type": "text",
                        "image": null,
                        "text": "1 April smart content_All"
                    },
                    {
                        "type": "text",
                        "image": null,
                        "text": "NA"
                    },
                    {
                        "type": "text",
                        "image": null,
                        "text": "https://gcubelmsqc.gc-solutions.net/product/learner/#/deeplink?metadata=Zr2WplddJX3U2tDG9egQBz0yxVN9pSoSA%2bsibKV%2fWd2bcjoSMkEwQnG%2fByAQ8vaBtxQqmKNVVW2rLW38DZBdHpILqD0n32q7I6DGQFGoS6TVpl%2bTYnvV1e2kkNhnxAhqmWgWyRz69RQ%3d"
                    }
                ]
            }
        ]
    }
}

Error Message:

{
    "error": {
        "message": "(#135000) Generic user error",
        "type": "OAuthException",
        "code": 135000,
        "error_data": {
            "messaging_product": "whatsapp",
            "details": "Generic user error"
        },
        "fbtrace_id": "ABCrXcTBH-7Q-wCMEBEgh3K"
    }
}

Steps taken: - Double check template Formatting. - Double check the API keys. - Double check the URL and Phone number Id. - Already tried with new templated. - Change access token and retry

This issue is causing significant disruption to my workflow. I would greatly appreciate any urgent assistance or insights from the community to resolve this "Generic user error" and get my WhatsApp template messaging back on track.

Let me know if you need me to tailor this further to your specific situation!
