Common Envelope Fields
Every request body shares this outer shape, regardless of message type:
| Field | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
messaging_product | string | Always "whatsapp". |
recipient_type | string | "individual" for all samples in this collection. Present on most, omitted on 2 (contact, location) — verify whether it's actually optional or was dropped by omission. |
to | string | Recipient MSISDN in international format, no leading + is inconsistent in samples (some include it, e.g. "+917039871406", "to" for template/payment samples uses the {{phone_no}} variable instead) — confirm the platform's expected format. |
type | string | One of: text, image, video, audio, document, contacts, location, reaction, interactive, template. |
