2024-06-21 - Fixed failure in proactive messages with ninth digit bug 8.12.2

  • In proactive messages sent to a phone number that includes a ninth digit, the generated aura-bot context is different for this proactive message and the message sent by the user, as the latter does not contain the ninth digit in its wa_id, leading to an error.
