GetOutgoingStatuses#

Test Postman

Beta version

The functionality is in beta mode. Features are subject to change and may also work unstably. There may be additional charges for functionality in the future.
You can request access to the functionality via Green API support

The method returns the outgoing statuses of the account. In the default mode the outgoing status messages for 24 hours are returned.

To receive the journal of messages sent from the phone, you need to enable the Receive webhooks on sent messages statuses setting using the SetSettings method or through the console (Messages received before enabling this setting will not be included in the outgoing message journal).

It may take up to 5 minutes for the settings to take effect.

Statuses can only be received from numbers in the contact list.

The contact list is fetched using the GetContacts method based on the contactName field. To get an updated contact list, you need to rename a contact and re-authorize by rescanning the QR code.

Statuses are sent only to the first 1024 contacts from the GetContacts method with a valid contactName field.

GET
