How to figure out if the WhatsApp Notification was sent / delivered / read / failed?

Since you are using code (Template Send API Calls) to send the WhatsApp notification, you won’t find the ‘message status statistics’ on your Interakt dashboard. We can send you the ‘message status statistics’ in the form of ‘webhooks’ to a Webhook URL provided by you. Along with the Webhook URL you would need to send a Secret Key for the URL as well.
