Inbox messages now include platform-specific metadata on each message via messages[].metadata.

This lets you read extra context like quoted replies and WhatsApp interactive/tap details without relying only on webhooks.

New field:
messages[].metadata (free-form object; commonly includes quotedMessageId, waInteractive, and inbound tap fields like interactiveType / interactiveId)

WhatsApp multipart sends now support voice note uploads via voiceNote.

Set voiceNote to true when uploading an in-browser recorded audio so it’s transcoded to WhatsApp-native ogg/Opus.

New multipart field:
voiceNote: true (WhatsApp-only)

WhatsApp Flows now support flow previews and version history.

You can fetch Meta’s embeddable web preview URL for a flow (drafts included), and list Zernio-tracked versions for a flow’s clone lineage.

New endpoints:
GET /v1/whatsapp/flows/{flowId}/preview with accountId and optional invalidate (mint a fresh link)
GET /v1/whatsapp/flows/{flowId}/versions with accountId

Flow versioning metadata is now returned:
GET /v1/whatsapp/flows adds version and lineageId per flow
POST /v1/whatsapp/flows response adds version and lineageId

Cloning can now stay in the same lineage:
POST /v1/whatsapp/flows adds asVersion (only when using cloneFlowId)

WhatsApp Flows now supports listing submitted flow responses via GET /v1/whatsapp/flow-responses.

This lets you fetch customer responses parsed from nfm_reply webhook messages (newest first), and optionally scope them to a specific flow.

Use:
accountId (required)
flowId (optional)
limit (optional, max 200, default 50)

Response items include id, receivedAt, from, senderName, conversationId, flowToken, data, raw.

Also updated: when sending flows via POST /v1/whatsapp/flows/send, if flow_token is omitted it is now auto-generated as <flowId>:<uuid> so responses can be attributed to that flow in the Flow Responses view.

New endpoint: GET /v1/whatsapp/template-library.

You can now look up a single pre-approved WhatsApp Template Library template by exact name to inspect its structure before importing—especially the buttons you must mirror when creating a template (e.g., URL/PHONE_NUMBER inputs).

Required query params:
accountId (WhatsApp social account ID)
name (exact library template name)

Response (200): template (object or null) with key fields like body_params and buttons where buttons[].type can be QUICK_REPLY, URL, PHONE_NUMBER, OTP, FLOW, ...

WhatsApp now supports managing the Meta CTWA conversions dataset via two new endpoints.

Use these to detect whether Conversions API reporting is configured for a WhatsApp account and to provision the required Meta dataset (idempotent).

Check current dataset: GET /v1/whatsapp/dataset with accountId (query)
Returns datasetId (nullable).

Provision (or fetch existing) dataset: POST /v1/whatsapp/dataset with body accountId
Returns datasetId and created (boolean).

If the account token is missing whatsapp_business_manage_events, provisioning returns 422 (reconnect required).

Inbox webhooks now include a sender contactId when the sender matches a Zernio CRM Contact.

This lets you link inbound messages/reactions directly to a Contact (via the ContactChannel mapping) without an extra Contacts API lookup. The field is omitted when no contact exists (and typically for outgoing/business sender).

New field:
message.sender.contactId in message.received and message.sent
reaction.sender.contactId in reaction.received
InboxWebhookMessage.sender.contactId

New endpoint: GET /v1/whatsapp/conversions.

You can now fetch recent WhatsApp conversion send events (from delivery logs, ~30-day retention) to power a “recent activity” view without maintaining your own persistence.

Required query: accountId
Optional query: limit (1–200, default 50)

Response includes per-event fields like timestamp, eventName (LeadSubmitted, Purchase, AddToCart, InitiateCheckout, ViewContent), conversationId, eventsReceived, eventsFailed, traceId, durationMs.

POST /v1/inbox/conversations/{conversationId}/messages now supports WhatsApp voice messages (PTT) via voiceNote in the JSON body.

When sending an audio attachment, set voiceNote to true to send it as a WhatsApp voice note (waveform/voice-note UI) instead of a regular audio file.

Key params:
attachmentType: audio
attachmentUrl: public URL to the audio file
voiceNote: true (WhatsApp only)

Note: the audio must be .ogg encoded with OPUS (mono); other formats will be rejected by WhatsApp.

CTWA ad creation now supports more precise geo targeting in POST /v1/ads/ctwa.

You can target by city/region/ZIP/metro or point-radius locations (useful for local WhatsApp campaigns) instead of relying only on country targeting.

New optional geo fields:
cities[] (with optional radius + distance_unit: mile | kilometer)
regions[]
zips[]
metros[]
customLocations[] (requires latitude, longitude, radius, distanceUnit: mile | kilometer)

Note: countries now defaults to ["US"] only when no other geo targeting (cities/regions/zips/metros/customLocations) is provided.

Inbox webhooks now include contactId on conversation (via InboxWebhookConversation).

This lets you join any inbox webhook event back to the Zernio CRM Contact (best-effort), without relying on the sender identity — useful for outgoing and delivery-status style events.

New field:
conversation.contactId - Zernio CRM Contact ID for the participant (omitted when no match or participantId is absent)

Applies to:
message.received
message.sent
reaction.received
conversation.started

WhatsApp conversion events no longer require a Facebook Page ID on the account when calling POST /v1/whatsapp/conversions.

The endpoint now only requires metaCapiDatasetId (provision via POST /v1/whatsapp/dataset) and forwards the WABA ID as user_data.whatsapp_business_account_id for Meta attribution.

If you were setting account metadata with connectedFacebookPageId, you can stop—missing it will no longer cause 422. Missing metaCapiDatasetId can still return 422.

WhatsApp now supports Sandbox session management via new endpoints: GET /v1/whatsapp/sandbox/sessions, POST /v1/whatsapp/sandbox/sessions, DELETE /v1/whatsapp/sandbox/sessions/{sessionId}.

This lets you activate a test phone against the shared sandbox number (reply-to-activate), list non-expired sessions, and revoke access to block future sends.

Key fields:
• Create/refresh with phone (server normalizes to E.164)
• Session object WhatsAppSandboxSession: id, phoneE164, status (pending | active), expiresAt, activatedAt
