Introduction
Send and receive WhatsApp messages from your own software, using your own WhatsApp numbers.
You link a WhatsApp number to our service by scanning a QR code, the same way you open WhatsApp Web. Your software can then send messages from that number through our API, and we tell your software when messages arrive.
How it works
- Link a number. In the Dashboard you add a Device (one WhatsApp number) and scan its QR code with your phone.
- Create an API Key. Your software uses it to prove who it is.
- Send Messages. Your software calls our API with the recipient's number and the text, image, document or audio.
- Receive events. We post incoming Messages and status changes (delivered, read) to your Webhook.
