## Summary
One-off SMS and WhatsApp campaigns now show a `Processing` state while
the audience send is in progress. The campaign moves to `Completed`
after processing finishes, and already-processing campaigns are skipped
by the scheduler to avoid duplicate sends.
## Closes
- [CW-6037: feat: Introduce an in-progress status for
campaigns](https://linear.app/chatwoot/issue/CW-6037/feat-introduce-an-in-progress-status-for-campaigns)

/>
## What changed
- Added `processing` as a campaign status.
- Mark one-off campaigns as `processing` under a row lock before the
send service runs.
- Complete SMS, Twilio SMS, and WhatsApp one-off campaigns after
audience processing finishes.
- Keep campaigns in `processing` if an unexpected service error escapes,
so the scheduler does not automatically resend the audience.
- Added the `Processing` label for SMS and WhatsApp campaign cards.
## Known operational behavior
If a worker is interrupted or an unexpected service error escapes after
a campaign is marked `processing`, the campaign can remain in
`processing`. This is intentional for now to avoid automatic
full-audience resends. Installation admins can decide whether to mark
the campaign completed or restart it manually from the Rails console
after checking what was sent.
## How to test
- Create a one-off SMS or WhatsApp campaign scheduled for now.
- Run the scheduled job or trigger the campaign job.
- Confirm the campaign card shows `Processing` while the audience is
being processed. For small audiences, refresh during processing or use a
larger audience so the state is observable.
- Confirm the campaign moves to `Completed` after audience processing
finishes.
- Confirm an already-processing campaign is not enqueued again by the
scheduled job.
Adds storage support for WhatsApp business-scoped user identifiers
received from Meta Cloud API and Twilio WhatsApp webhooks. The change
keeps existing phone-based behavior intact, stores BSUID and parent
BSUID values as additional `contact_inboxes.source_id` rows for the same
contact, and allows BSUID-only inbound messages to create contacts,
conversations, and messages without requiring a phone number.
Related: https://github.com/chatwoot/chatwoot/issues/13837
**What changed**
- Extended WhatsApp source ID validation to accept regular BSUID and
parent BSUID formats.
- For Meta Cloud API, stores phone, `user_id`, and `parent_user_id`
identifiers as contact inbox source IDs when they are present.
- For Twilio WhatsApp, stores phone, `ExternalUserId`, and
`ParentExternalUserId` identifiers as contact inbox source IDs while
preserving the existing `whatsapp:` Twilio source ID shape.
- Supports BSUID-only inbound messages by creating a contact, contact
inbox, conversation, and message even when the phone number is missing.
- Links phone-first and later BSUID-only messages to the same contact
when the first payload contains both phone and BSUID.
- Stores WhatsApp usernames in contact `additional_attributes`, matching
existing social channel patterns.
- Keeps existing phone-based outbound and new-conversation behavior
unchanged for this milestone.
**How to test**
1. Send a Meta Cloud webhook payload with both `wa_id` and `user_id`.
2. Verify Chatwoot creates or finds the phone `contact_inbox` and also
creates a BSUID `contact_inbox` for the same contact.
3. Send a later Meta Cloud payload for the same user with only `user_id`
/ `from_user_id`.
4. Verify Chatwoot finds the BSUID `contact_inbox` and creates the
inbound message without requiring a phone number.
5. Send a Twilio WhatsApp webhook with `From: whatsapp:+E164`,
`ExternalUserId`, and optionally `ParentExternalUserId`.
6. Verify Chatwoot stores the Twilio phone and BSUID identifiers as
`whatsapp:`-prefixed source IDs for the same contact.
7. Send a Twilio WhatsApp webhook where `From` is `whatsapp:<BSUID>` and
there is no phone number.
8. Verify Chatwoot creates the contact, contact inbox, conversation, and
message without a phone number.

### Problem
WhatsApp Cloud channels already handle Brazil/Argentina phone number
format mismatches (PRs #12492, #11173), but Twilio WhatsApp channels
were creating duplicate contacts
when:
- Template sent to new format: `whatsapp:+5541988887777` (13 digits)
- User responds from old format: `whatsapp:+554188887777` (12 digits)
### Solution
The solution extends the existing phone number normalization
infrastructure to support both WhatsApp providers while handling their
different payload formats:
### Provider Format Differences
- **WhatsApp Cloud**: `wa_id: "919745786257"` (clean number)
- **Twilio WhatsApp**: `From: "whatsapp:+919745786257"` (prefixed
format)
### Test Coverage
#### Brazil Phone Number Tests
**Case 1: New Format (13 digits with "9")**
- **Test 1**: No existing contact → Creates new contact with original
format
- **Test 2**: Contact exists in same format → Appends to existing
conversation
**Case 2: Old Format (12 digits without "9")**
- **Test 3**: Contact exists in old format → Appends to existing
conversation
- **Test 4** *(Critical)*: Contact exists in new format, message in old
format → Finds existing contact, prevents duplicate
- **Test 5**: No contact exists → Creates new contact with incoming
format
#### Argentina Phone Number Tests
**Case 3: With "9" after country code**
- **Test 6**: No existing contact → Creates new contact
- **Test 7**: Contact exists in normalized format → Uses existing
contact
**Case 4: Without "9" after country code**
- **Test 8**: Contact exists in same format → Appends to existing
- **Test 9**: No contact exists → Creates new contact

In this PR https://github.com/chatwoot/chatwoot/pull/11139, if there is
an attempt to create a duplication session for the contact in the same
inbox, we will anonymize the old session.
This PR would prevent sending messages to the older sessions. The
support agents will have to create a new conversation to continue
messages with customer.
In the previous release, we enabled "HTTP Basic Authentication" to secure all attachments requiring HTTP authentication. This is particularly important for media files that may contain sensitive data, as recommended by Twilio. However, some users experienced issues because they did not enable this option despite our alerts prompting them to do so. If the authenticated attachment download call fails, add another call to download the attachment without authentication.
We've had some messages come in from a few different phone numbers that had null bytes in them. I don't know how this happens. They don't seem to be malicious.
They currently cause the Postgres gem to raise an error when Chatwoot attempts to save the message body to the database:
ArgumentError (string contains null byte)
Related Rails GitHub issue: rails/rails#26891
This update will mean that errors will roll back the current transaction and the error will be sent back to the frontend and the user will know that the Inbox did not finish setting up successfully.
- API to fetch info of a single inbox
- Document passing custom_attributes in the API
- Ability to filter contacts with contact identifier in search API
