Messages are identified by a unique ID (WAMID). You can track message status in the Webhooks through its WAMID. You could also mark an incoming message as read through messages endpoint. This WAMID can have a maximum length of up to 128 characters.
Avec l’API Cloud, il n’est plus possible de vérifier de manière explicite si un numéro de téléphone possède un ID WhatsApp. Pour envoyer un message à un client ou une cliente avec l’API Cloud, envoyez-le directement au numéro de téléphone de cette personne après qu’elle a choisi de recevoir des messages. Pour des exemples, consultez la section Référence, Messages.
To send a message, you must first assemble a message object with the content you want to send. These are the parameters used in a message
