Message Delivery Status
Exotel does not provide the status of the message by default. You will need to speak with your Exotel Account Manager to help get this configured.
Once the above integration is complete, the status of the notification, which will be shared by Exotel will be displayed in the logs, when you click on it, under the Delivery tab.
