Send Text Message Api Not delivering Message to destination-phone-number

[shoyshai]

Dear Team.,
I am using the first basic example of
$whatsapp_cloud_api->sendTextMessage('destination-phone-number', 'Hey there! I'm using WhatsApp Cloud API. Visit https://www.netflie.es');
API is called successfully and the resposne received from API is [body:protected] => {"messaging_product":"whatsapp","contacts":[{"input":"9975840786","wa_id":"919975840786"}],"messages":[{"id":"wamid.HBgMOTE5OTc1ODQwNzg2FQIAERgSMEYxMjc4QzZGMkQzRTY4RDI3AA=="}]} but it does not shows the [message_status] => accepted , and message is not delivered to destination mobile. Please help as i just started exploring whatsapp api

The first message must be a TEMPLATE message. Once the user answers then you can start sending other types of messages.

This is a WhatsApp requirement.

Do you know maybe why I can't send TEMPLATE messages created by me? That one created automatically by Facebook is working fine but those created by me not working...strange thing is that it works for 2 months but since 2 weeks ago not working anymore...Thanks!
