Question

What do the Delivered, Pending and Failed status mean in Messaging Analytics?

Applies To

  • Messages API 
  • Messaging Analytics

Answer

Here is how each status is defined:

  • Delivered: The message has been successfully confirmed as received by the end user.
  • Pending: The message has been accepted by Vonage and submitted to the appropriate message provider, but no subsequent delivery updates have been received yet.
  • Failed: The message could not be sent. This occurs if the message was "rejected" due to an issue with the message content or format, or if it is "undeliverable" because a connection to the necessary messaging provider could not be established.
