If we take the example API call above. If we received a delivered status at 300 seconds (within the expiry_time) the workflow would be marked as completed. We would not send an SMS. We would then send the final callback. The final message in the failover is delivered. If the message Errors on the last step we will send the final callback. Please note GET is not currently supported. You will notice we have an href to a resource in some of the callbacks. These will fail to load but we wanted to maintain the same structure so that we can seamlessly integrate GET later. requestBody: required: true content: application/json: schema: $ref: '#/components/schemas/finalReport' responses: '200': description: Your server returns this code if it accepts the callback tags: - Dispatch API components: schemas: MessageStatus: description: The callbacks for the message status are the same as defined in the Messaging API.
