[Bug Report: API Field Missing] Parent Message Field Missing in Message Retry Webhook #260
Description
🐛 Describe the Bug
Whenever a user sends out a message from GHL, we receive a webhook, even if it fails with the status Failed. But when the user clicks on the retry button, I think GHL itself deletes the previous message and sends a new message. But we don't receive any webhook that tells that the previous message was deleted. We just receive a brand new webhook with a new message.
📍 API Endpoint
OutboundMessage
✅ Expected Behavior
The webhook should have another field, maybe named parentMessageId, which tells us that the previous message was deleted and this is the new message that was retried.

📋 Use Case
Right now, when we receive a new webhook, we treat it as a new message. So right now, our database is being bloated with faulty data.
🚨 Why Should This Be Prioritized?
This should be prioritized because we need to sync our conversations with that of GHL.
