See at a glance whether every message you send was sent, delivered or seen, and why any message failed.
No more guessing or re-sending: every outbound message in the Inbox now shows its status as soon as it changes.
Message status
Every message you send from the Inbox, whether a basic message or a template, shows a live status on WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Instagram and Webchat. The status updates on its own, so there is no need to refresh the page.
| Status | Icon | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Sent | Single grey tick | The channel accepted the message. |
| Delivered | Double grey tick | The message reached the customer's device or chat window. |
| Seen | Double blue tick | The customer read the message. |
| Failed | Red X | The message could not be delivered; a reason is attached. Hover over the red X to see it. |
- Status only moves forward. Out-of-order or duplicate webhooks never downgrade a message or change its time.
- Gaps are shown honestly. If a channel cannot confirm a step, it shows "not available", and messages stay at their last truthful status rather than guessing.
- One vocabulary everywhere. A configurable mapping, editable by admins only, turns each channel's own states into Sent, Delivered, Seen and Failed, with localised labels including Arabic.

Quick guide for agents and admins
Use this guide to decide your next step.
- Rules: window, marketing-limit and opt-out errors are Meta's rules. Use templates outside the window and respect opt-outs.
- Fix, then retry: registration, template, billing and connection errors.
- Wait, then retry: rate and marketing limits.
- Do not retry: restrictions, opt-outs and unavailable recipients.
- Check before resending when the status is unknown, to avoid duplicates.
