Representative actions

Create a new message template for the WhatsApp Business Account. Templates must be approved by WhatsApp before they can be used. Templates are required for marketing messages and messages sent outside the 24-hour window.
- Delete message template
Delete a message template from the WhatsApp Business Account by name. This permanently removes the template and it cannot be recovered. When you delete a template by name, all templates with that name across all languages will be deleted. Names of deleted templates cannot be reused for 30 days. Important: Only delete templates that are no longer needed, as this operation is irreversible.

- Get message templates

Representative triggers
- Message Status Updated
Triggers when a WhatsApp message status changes. IMPORTANT LIMITATION: WhatsApp Cloud API does not provide a native polling endpoint for message status. Status updates are ONLY delivered via webhooks in real-time. This trigger cannot directly poll the WhatsApp API for status updates. This trigger will return empty results as WhatsApp does not support this operation. To track message status updates, you must: 1. Set up a webhook endpoint to receive status notifications from WhatsApp 2. Store the webhook data in your own database 3. Use a different mechanism to query your stored webhook data For more information, see: - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/webhooks
