How to receive contact name via Twilio WhatsApp

Question

I am using the Twilio API for WhatsApp in a sandbox, for prototyping and testing. According to the Facebook / WhatsApp documentation, there are several types of inbound notifications that may be delivered to your unique Webhook.

Twilio API documentation is very limited and doesn’t mention any of the more advanced scenarios. For example retrieving the customers name, which should be present in every webhook request…

When I inspect the webhook, the body payload is very limited. Is there any way to receive the original channelData?

Answer 1

You can get the sender's name using the 'ProfileName' key from the request form.
