Messaging Health Status Details

When you attempt to send a message, it involves several parts (nodes or entities), such as a WhatsApp Business Account (WABA), a business phone number, and sometimes a message template. Each node has a "health status" assigned to the can_send_message property to show if it can send messages:

• AVAILABLE: Indicates that the node meets all messaging requirements.

• LIMITED: Indicates that the node meets messaging requirements, but has some limitations. If a given node has this value, additional info will be included.

• BLOCKED: Indicates that the node does not meet one or more messaging requirements. If a given node has this value, the errors property will be included which describes the error and a possible solution.

Overall Status

The overall health status property can_send_message will be set as follows:

• If one or more nodes is blocked, it will be set to BLOCKED.

• If no nodes are blocked, but one or more nodes is limited, it will be set to LIMITED.

• If all nodes are available, it will be set to AVAILABLE.

Additional Info Property

If a given node's can_send_message property is set to LIMITED, the additional_info property will be included, which provides additional context for the limitation.

Errors Property

If a given node's can_send_message property is set to BLOCKED, the errors property will be included, which describes the reason for the status and a possible solution.
