# Story (status) from your contacts

Now you can receive notifications when a new story (status) is created by your contact. If a story (status) is available to you, it will be sent with detailed information by callback.

Make sure you have *`PATCH chats`* enabled in your channel settings. We mentioned more about the events here:[Detailed webhook settings](/help-desk/receiving/webhooks/detailed-webhook-settings.md#mode-setting)

Please note that due to the technical peculiarities of the structure of Statuses in WhatsApp, you will receive information about each new story in this format, without grouping by sender.

An example of an incoming webhook when your contact creates a new status:

```
