Hi, you can refer to Webhook subscription

If you are debugging locally you will need to use dev tunnels, conveyor or ngrok

[GergesBernaba1]

Yes

I think deserializing with system.text.json you will have to cast the dynamic object to JsonElement then you can access the individual properties since with newtonsoft does not throw the error above.

var jsonstring = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<JsonElement>(messageStr);

Hi i have a problem in this line and in MarkAsRead: always in Mark return missing permissions
but in this:
var mediaFileDownloaded = await _whatsAppBusinessClient.DownloadMediaAsync(mediaUrlResponse.Url);
and when GetMediaUrlAsync
Error when DownloadMediaAsync: The value cannot be null or empty. (Parameter 'name')
Error when GetMediaUrlAsync: The value cannot be null or empty. (Parameter 'name')

MarkAsRead will require the message id for your whatsapp message received in the webhook. For example from the sample project when you send an audio file

if (messageType.Equals("audio"))
                    {
                        var audioMessageReceived = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<AudioMessageReceived>(Convert.ToString(messageReceived)) as AudioMessageReceived;
                        audioMessage = new List<AudioMessage>(audioMessageReceived.Entry.SelectMany(x => x.Changes).SelectMany(x => x.Value.Messages));
                        _logger.LogInformation(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(audioMessage, Formatting.Indented));

                        MarkMessageRequest markMessageRequest = new MarkMessageRequest();
                        markMessageRequest.MessageId = audioMessage.SingleOrDefault().Id;
                        markMessageRequest.Status = "read";

                        await _whatsAppBusinessClient.MarkMessageAsReadAsync(markMessageRequest);

                        var mediaUrlResponse = await _whatsAppBusinessClient.GetMediaUrlAsync(audioMessage.SingleOrDefault().Audio.Id);

                        _logger.LogInformation(mediaUrlResponse.Url);

                        // To download media received sent by user
                        var mediaFileDownloaded = await _whatsAppBusinessClient.DownloadMediaAsync(mediaUrlResponse.Url);

                        var rootPath = Path.Combine(_webHostEnvironment.WebRootPath, "Application_Files\\MediaDownloads\\");

                        if (!Directory.Exists(rootPath))
                        {
                            Directory.CreateDirectory(rootPath);
                        }

                        // Get the path of filename
                        string filename = string.Empty;

                        if (mediaUrlResponse.MimeType.Contains("audio/mpeg"))
                        {
                            filename = $"{mediaUrlResponse.Id}.mp3";
                        }

                        if (mediaUrlResponse.MimeType.Contains("audio/ogg"))
                        {
                            filename = $"{mediaUrlResponse.Id}.ogg";
                        }

                        var filePath = Path.Combine(_webHostEnvironment.WebRootPath, "Application_Files\\MediaDownloads\\", filename);

                        await System.IO.File.WriteAllBytesAsync(filePath, mediaFileDownloaded);

                        return Ok(new
                        {
                            Message = "Audio Message received"
                        });
                    }
