The recommended way to keep track of the status of your outbound messages is to setup a server endpoint to receive status update events in real time.
Once you’ve configured this endpoint, specify its url
and HTTP method
in the Send Message API request. Plivo will call this endpoint with the latest message details as and when the message status changes.
The following message attributes are passed on to the status update url
with every status change event.
These attributes are passed as Form Data if the method
configured is POST
, and as Query Params if it is GET
.
