Message Received

This event is fired whenever a reply from a contact is received.

🚧

Contact Phone Number

The field data.contact.phone_number will only be present in the webhook if the contact is responding to a message that was previously sent using a phone number (a template message).

WhatsApp never shares anyone's phone number.
