Message Delivery Failed Interaction

Notifies Salesforce when an inbound message interaction request fails.

Whenever an inbound message interaction request fails, the response payload returns a “success” : “false” value. If the event is a Message or FileAttachment interaction, the response payload also includes an error code and message. If the event is a TypingStartedIndicator or TypingStoppedIndicator interaction, the response payload includes an ID.

This API doesn’t process the failures. Instead, Salesforce tracks the failures, which you can ignore or use to send your own delivery failed notifications.

This API applies to the following products:

Bring Your Own Channel for Contact Center as a Service
Bring Your Own Channel for Messaging

This API is available in version 61.0 and later.
