Twilio WhatsApp Status and Error Tracking
We have added two new fields in the detail view, "Twilio WhatsApp Status" and "Twilio WhatsApp Error," to accurately reflect message delivery. Although the CRM may show a message as sent, it may not be delivered according to Twilio logs. The "Twilio WhatsApp Status" field will display "Delivered" once the message is successfully sent, or "Failed" if delivery was unsuccessful. In case of failure, the "Twilio WhatsApp Error" field will show the corresponding error code. Users can add these fields directly from the Studio.
Twilio WhatsApp Status: This field reflects whether the message was successfully delivered or failed. Twilio WhatsApp Error: This field captures and displays the error code when messages fail to deliver.
Automatic Address and Location Retrieval from Incoming WhatsApp Messages
When an incoming WhatsApp message contains live location address details from recipients, the CRM will automatically retrieve both the latitude and longitude.
When an incoming WhatsApp message contains address details from recipients, the CRM will automatically fetch the latitude and longitude, as well as the address details, and the data gets automatically captured into the CRM.
