The recommended way to keep track of the status of your outbound messages is to set up a server endpoint to receive status update events in real time.
Once you’ve configured this endpoint, specify its url
and HTTP method
in the Send Message API request. Plivo will call this endpoint with the latest message details as and when the message status changes.
These message attributes are passed to the status update URL with every status change event. They’re passed as form data if the method configured is POST, and as query parameters if it’s GET.
