Messages sending delay#

When sending messages or files, all data are put in the send queue. All messages are sent from the queue sequentially in the order they come in the FIFO queue. This sets the message sending delay from the queue. To change the messages sending delay, use SetSettings method and delaySendMessagesMilliseconds parameter.

The minimum message sending delay is 500 msec.

To check the current sending delay, use GetSettings method, delaySendMessagesMilliseconds parameter.

Messages sending delay change#

To change messages sending delay, you have to execute a request at:

POST https://api.green-api.com/waInstance{{idInstance}}/SetSettings/{{apiTokenInstance}}

You have to specify the only parameter delaySendMessagesMilliseconds in the request body.

Request body example to set 5 second messages sending delay#

{
    "delaySendMessagesMilliseconds": 5000
}

Python request example#

import requests
