outboundContent on SMS delivery receipts

SMS delivery receipts now document the outboundContent object — a structured copy of the original outbound message the receipt refers to. It lets you reconcile a delivery receipt with the exact content that was sent without keeping your own copy of the outbound payload.

Key points:

  • outboundContent is attached only to the queued receipt sent when the message is accepted for processing. Other queued receipts — for example, for scheduled messages — do not include it, and it is omitted from every other status (sent, delivered, undelivered, etc.).
  • For SMS, channel is always sms and contentType is always text; the message text is carried in body.text.
  • When PII masking applies to the sub-account or destination country, body is omitted and a meta object describes the redaction (redacted, redactionReason) instead.
  • Requires delivery receipt format V7 or later. If your account is on an earlier format, contact support to activate the latest version.

The guide includes sample receipts both with plain outboundContent and with masked content.
