Oct 1, 2025In October 2025, the team delivered three focused improvements to the WhatsApp integration, prioritizing reliability, observability, and user experience. Key changes include extending the media expiry default from 24 hours to 30 days with a corresponding integration version update, and enhancing webhook error logging with descriptive responses to improve traceability and debugging. A major stability fix temporarily disabled phone number formatting to ensure conversations can start and messages are processed without interruption while root causes are investigated. These changes collectively reduce user friction, shorten incident resolution times, and strengthen channel reliability.
