LastOutgoingMessages#

Test Postman

The method returns the last outgoing messages of the account. In the default mode the last messages for 24 hours are returned.

To receive the statuses of sent messages you need to enable the Receive notifications about the statuses of sent messages setting using the SetSettings method or through console

It may take up to 5 minutes for the settings to take effect.

To receive messages that were sent and received by your phone before connecting the instance, after saving the settings on the instance, you need to do logout and authorize again.

The LastOutgoingMessages method only returns the history that WhatsApp provides to the system.

The appearance of messages in the journal may take up to 2 minutes. Journal methods should only be used for retrieving chat history. For quicker message retrieval, use the notification system.

Request#

To get outgoing messages, you have to execute a request at:

GET 
{{apiUrl}}/waInstance{{idInstance}}/lastOutgoingMessages/{{apiTokenInstance}}

For apiUrl, idInstance and apiTokenInstance request parameters, refer to Before you start section.
