How to send a WhatsApp message using ContentSid and ContentVariables?

[hashimsayed0]

Hey

I came across this doc, which shows how to use the new Content API to send messages using ContentSid and ContentVariables. I was wondering if it is supported in the extension. If so, how do I use it?

Hi twilio team - is there any update on this feature request? Currently there are issues in sending whatsapp messages, for eg #105

I raised a ticket via Twilio for the same thing, and was asked to check Github.

Twilio team, can you provide an update on this please?

Twilio Team,
I received a notice that as of April 1st the model with body will stop working, meaning that everyone who uses the extension will no longer be able to send messages. We need a solution using contentSid. Can you help us?

hi, we just had similar issue I guess,

try to set the content ID with the setter, not with the creator method...

// java version generated by twilio documentation
// please read the comments for the "fix"

JSONObject params = new JSONObject(new HashMap<String, Object>());
           params.put("1", "YOUR_VARIABLE1");
           params.put("2", "YOURVARIABLE2");

Message message = Message
    .creator(
        new com.twilio.type.PhoneNumber("whatsapp:+18005551234"),
        new com.twilio.type.PhoneNumber("MGXXXXXXXXX"),
        // supposed to be the ContentSid, but not working with 10.7.0
        "HXXXXXXXX"
    )
    // set it here, it should be working fine then
    .setContentSid("HXXXXXXXX")
    .setContentVariables(params.toString())
    .create();
