### Why Do I See `"status": "pending"` After Sending a Message?

When you send a message through the API, the initial response may include `"status": "pending"`.\
This is expected behavior — at the moment the request is processed, the API does not yet know the final delivery status.

You can interpret `"pending"` as “message sent, awaiting confirmation.”

To track delivery progress, use the webhook event **`statuses.post`**. This will notify you as soon as the message is delivered or read.\
You can also poll for status updates using the **GET message** endpoint.

> If the status remains `"pending"` and doesn’t change over time, it usually means:
>
> * The message format or content may be invalid
> * Your account may not have permission to send this type of message

If you're seeing persistent `"pending"` statuses, contact our support team — we’ll help you identify the issue and resolve it.

The messages statuses array contains all statuses that were sent to the webhook URL. Sent on event "`statuses.post`" or "`statuses.put`".  We mentioned more about the events here:[Detailed webhook settings](/help-desk/receiving/webhooks/detailed-webhook-settings.md#mode-setting)
