❗️

Sending Messages Outside the 24-Hour Messaging Window

Regular text messages and media messages (i.e., any non-template messages) can only be delivered within 24 hours of the customer's last message to your business.

If the business sends a message outside this 24-hour window, an error will be returned by the API.

Message templates are not subject to this restriction and should be used to reach customers outside the 24-hour window.

Best Practices

  • Keep video files under 16 MB for reliable delivery
  • MP4 format is recommended for maximum compatibility
  • Optimize videos for mobile viewing (resolution and bitrate)
  • Use captions to provide context about the video content
  • Ensure video URLs are publicly accessible before sending
  • Test videos on mobile devices before sending to customers
🚧

Technical Requirements

  • Consider compressing large videos to stay within the 16 MB limit
  • Shorter videos (under 1-2 minutes) typically provide better user engagement
