# Understanding the “Enqueued” API Response for Template Messages

We’ve recently made a small but important improvement to the API response you see when sending WhatsApp templates via DoubleTick. This update is designed to improve system reliability—without impacting your message delivery in any way.

Let’s break it down in simple terms.

***

### What Has Changed?

Earlier, when you sent a WhatsApp template using the API, the response status returned was:

**`sent`**

Now, you’ll see the response as:

**`enqueued`**

***

### What Does “Enqueued” Mean?

The status **“enqueued”** means that:

* ✅ Your template message has been **successfully accepted**
* ✅ It has been **added to the sending queue**
* ✅ The delivery process will continue **exactly as before**

In simple words:\
**Your message is in line to be delivered — and it&#x20;*****will*****&#x20;be delivered.**

This is just a system-level acknowledgment and does **not** mean the message failed or got delayed.

***

### Why Was This Change Made?

This update was introduced to:

* Improve **system stability**
* Ensure better **compatibility with Meta’s APIs**
* Handle high message volumes more efficiently
* Align with **standard messaging platform practices**

Many large-scale messaging systems use “enqueued” to confirm that a message has entered the delivery pipeline successfully.

***

### Does This Affect Message Delivery?

**No. Not at all.**

* Your templates are still sent to WhatsApp exactly the same way
* Delivery timelines remain unchanged
* Message status tracking continues to work as expected

This change only affects the **API response text**, not the actual delivery.

***

### What Should You Do as a Customer?

Nothing 😊\
You don’t need to change your setup, logic, or integrations.

Just remember:

* **“Enqueued” = Successfully sent into the system**
* It is now the **standard and expected API response**

***

### Summary

* Earlier response: **Sent**
* New response: **Enqueued**
* Meaning: Message successfully added to the sending queue
* Impact on delivery: **None**
* Action required from you: **No action needed**
