}When sending outbound messages as well as setting the receiver information you must set message body field in all cases except for sending a message template when you must only set the template field
Body
{
"receiver": {
"contacts": [
{
"identifierKey": "phonenumber",
"identifierValue": "+31612345678"
}
]
},
"body": {...}
}Template
{
"receiver": {
"contacts": [
{
"identifierKey": "phonenumber",
"identifierValue": "+31612345678"
}
]
},
"template": {...}
}If it has been more than 24 hours since a customer last messaged you, you have to start a conversation by sending a template message first. Non-template messages can only be sent when the customer care window is active. You can check the expiry time for an active customer care window for a contact by making a request as follows:
Retrieve channel information for a given contact.

Template
Template is the only message type that can be sent by a business to a recipient outside the customer service window, however, a prior opt-in is required. Templates must be active in Studio and, therefore, pre-approved by Meta, before they are used. It's also important to note that the code snippets below must be set in the message template field
{
"receiver": {
"contacts": [
{
"identifierValue": "+31612345678"
}
]
},
"template": {...}
}
