What did you do?

Hi
I sent to my bot a simple text message: "Initial message"
i got the following event:

  "data": {
    "Info": {
      "AddressingMode": "",
      "BroadcastListOwner": "",
      "BroadcastRecipients": null,
      "Category": "",
      "Chat": "xxx@s.whatsapp.net",
      "DeviceSentMeta": null,
      "Edit": "",
      "ID": "AC9A902ED6D1458D0A9FB5C4023580E7",
      "IsFromMe": false,
      "IsGroup": false,
      "MediaType": "",
      "MsgBotInfo": {
        "EditSenderTimestampMS": "0001-01-01T00:00:00Z",
        "EditTargetID": "",
        "EditType": ""
      },
      "MsgMetaInfo": {
        "DeprecatedLIDSession": null,
        "TargetChat": "",
        "TargetID": "",
        "TargetSender": "",
        "ThreadMessageID": "",
        "ThreadMessageSenderJID": ""
      },
      "Multicast": false,
      "PushName": "Me",
      "RecipientAlt": "",
      "Sender": "xxx@s.whatsapp.net",
      "SenderAlt": "zzz@lid",
      "ServerID": 0,
      "Timestamp": "2026-06-26T02:39:26-03:00",
      "Type": "text",
      "VerifiedName": null
    },
    "IsBotInvoke": false,
    "IsDocumentWithCaption": false,
    "IsEdit": false,
    "IsEphemeral": false,
    "IsLottieSticker": false,
    "IsViewOnce": false,
    "IsViewOnceV2": false,
    "IsViewOnceV2Extension": false,
    "Message": {
      "conversation": "Initial message",
      "messageContextInfo": {
        "deviceListMetadata": {
          "recipientKeyHash": "E2tyxX5XIVF3EQ==",
          "recipientTimestamp": 1782449749,
          "senderKeyHash": "pAUZ5sfkmTIHKA==",
          "senderTimestamp": 1782063058
        },
        "deviceListMetadataVersion": 2,
        "messageSecret": "mA5k/3jCDF8qB5WmVUnZtAuKEsY9z8e4Ja6mHpFmR/A="
      }
    },
    "NewsletterMeta": null,
    "RetryCount": 0,
    "SourceWebMsg": null,
    "UnavailableRequestID": ""
  },
  "event": "Message",
  "instanceId": "yyy",
  "instanceName": "test",
  "instanceToken": "yyy"
}

then the sender edited the message to "Edited message" and i got the following message event webhook:

  "data": {
    "Info": {
      "AddressingMode": "",
      "BroadcastListOwner": "",
      "BroadcastRecipients": null,

        "EditType": ""
      },
      "MsgMetaInfo": {
        "DeprecatedLIDSession": null,

        "TargetID": "",
        "TargetSender": "",
        "ThreadMessageID": "",
        "ThreadMessageSenderJID": ""
      },
      "Multicast": false,

    },
    "IsBotInvoke": false,
    "IsDocumentWithCaption": false,
    "IsEdit": false,
    "IsEphemeral": false,
    "IsLottieSticker": false,
    "IsViewOnce": false,
    "IsViewOnceV2": false,
    "IsViewOnceV2Extension": false,
    "Message": {
      "messageContextInfo": {
        "deviceListMetadata": {
          "recipientKeyHash": "E2tyxX5XIVF3EQ==",
          "recipientTimestamp": 1782449749,
          "senderKeyHash": "pAUZ5sfkmTIHKA==",
          "senderTimestamp": 1782063058
        },
        "deviceListMetadataVersion": 2
      },
      "secretEncryptedMessage": {
        "encIV": "+LyXMWj3ktXD7Bsa",
        "encPayload": "IH6QaddsawnKQf726+G4S4gWWzhDivIQ737Rd4RpsB3lC2zYUkCP61hC/1ih37pDYuDTR5dKVJ1PM7ctir9rFcc6ePro6RBok3e3CwcCNdhHwb+V1dj09QkOZIHWigfTeKGMKjw7jAI+yxlTlPGJCPTG9VghlUsRV4MSmz5dQZMDH8CHpVmKmb+M0yKi",
        "secretEncType": 2,
        "targetMessageKey": {
          "ID": "AC9A902ED6D1458D0A9FB5C4023580E7",
          "fromMe": true,
          "remoteJID": "zzz@lid"
        }
      }
    },
    "NewsletterMeta": null,
    "RetryCount": 0,
    "SourceWebMsg": null,
    "UnavailableRequestID": ""
  },
  "event": "Message",
  "instanceId": "yyy",
  "instanceName": "test",
  "instanceToken": "yyy"
}

the first problem i see here is that property isEdit=false
i guess i could identify it's an edit event by looking at the enum "Edit": "1"

the second problem is that i cannot see the new text value "Edited message", i see only an encrypted message that i'm not sure how to decrtypt while on Evolution API i was used to see the edited text value in the event

then the message was deleted for everyone and i got the following message event:

  "data": {
    "Info": {
      "AddressingMode": "",
      "BroadcastListOwner": "",
      "BroadcastRecipients": null,
      "Category": "",
      "Chat": "xxx@s.whatsapp.net",
      "DeviceSentMeta": null,
      "Edit": "7",
      "ID": "ACDD174F636231E68B8D95EA87DE51FB",
      "IsFromMe": false,
      "IsGroup": false,
      "MediaType": "",
      "MsgBotInfo": {
        "EditSenderTimestampMS": "0001-01-01T00:00:00Z",
        "EditTargetID": "",
        "EditType": ""
      },
      "MsgMetaInfo": {
        "DeprecatedLIDSession": null,

        "ThreadMessageSenderJID": ""
      },
      "Multicast": false,

      "RecipientAlt": "",
      "Sender": "xxx@s.whatsapp.net",

      "ServerID": 0,
      "Timestamp": "2026-06-26T02:39:38-03:00",
      "Type": "text",
      "VerifiedName": null
    },
    "IsBotInvoke": false,
    "IsDocumentWithCaption": false,
    "IsEdit": false,
    "IsEphemeral": false,
    "IsLottieSticker": false,
    "IsViewOnce": false,
    "IsViewOnceV2": false,
    "IsViewOnceV2Extension": false,
    "Message": {
      "messageContextInfo": {
        "deviceListMetadata": {
          "recipientKeyHash": "E2tyxX5XIVF3EQ==",
          "recipientTimestamp": 1782449749,
          "senderKeyHash": "pAUZ5sfkmTIHKA==",
          "senderTimestamp": 1782063058
        },
        "deviceListMetadataVersion": 2
      },
      "protocolMessage": {
        "key": {
          "ID": "AC9A902ED6D1458D0A9FB5C4023580E7",
          "fromMe": true,
          "remoteJID": "zzz@lid"
        },
        "type": 0
      }
    },
    "NewsletterMeta": null,
    "RetryCount": 0,
    "SourceWebMsg": null,
    "UnavailableRequestID": ""
  },
  "event": "Message",
  "instanceId": "yyy",
  "instanceName": "test",
  "instanceToken": "yyy"
}

i can only assume that it's a delete event by looking at the enum "Edit": "7" or "type": 0 while on evolution api it was more explicit by mentioning something with revoke

What did you expect?

  1. clearer indications of event types such as deleted/edited
