• Added the RequestId parameter to the webhook request for the recipient's transition via the link button in WhatsApp.

  Now, in the webhook request about the recipient's transition via the link button in WhatsApp, RequestId will be returned, matching the RequestId of the outgoing message sent using the api/cascade/schedule method. This will help link the transition to the outgoing message containing the link button.

  warning

  The webhook request contains the RequestId parameter only if the message was sent via the API.

  When sending a mailing from your edna Pulse personal account, the webhook request will not contain the RequestId parameter.
