Get Message Status¶
Backendless server handles message publishing as an autonomous task. As a result, the final status of the message publishing operation is not available right away. To retrieve the status, the client application must make a separate API call as documented below:
Backendless.Messaging.getMessageStatus( messageId )
.then( function( status ) {
})
.catch( function( error ) {
});
where:
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
messageId |
ID of the message assigned to the message and returned by the Message Publishing API request. |
Return Value¶

{
messageId:<messageId>,
status:<status>,
errorMessage:<errorMessage>
}
where:
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|

<status> |
can be one of the following "published", "scheduled", "cancelled", "failed" or "unknown". |
