Meta adds webhook fields over time. Anything WhaBuzz has no named type for arrives as meta.other with the change value as data and the field name in data.field. Nothing is dropped, so new Meta features reach you before WhaBuzz documents them.
Event type: meta.other. Fixture payloads are the WhaBuzz Demo tenant's real ids with a fictional customer number; id, tenant_id and created_at in envelopes are illustrative.
