Receive group messages
You can use the following webhooks to receive statuses on messages received in the group.
The 
message object includes a 
group_id field to indicate this is a group message. The 
from field in the 
message object and the contact object point to the same participant who sends this message.
Group message status webhooks
When you send messages to a group, you will receive a webhook when the message is delivered or read.
Instead of sending multiple webhooks for each status update, we will send an aggregated webhook.
This means that if you send a message and are set to receive several 
read or 
delivered statuses, we will send you a single, aggregated webhook that contains multiple 
status objects.
Each webhook you receive is only ever in reference to a single message sent to a single group and a single status type.
