I am sending message from Facebook whatsapp api to my number for testing. Message is sent from php but not recieved on mobile. Did I must register business on facebook?

{"messaging_product":"whatsapp","contacts":[{"input":"923040165804","wa_id":"923040165804"}],"messages":[{"id":"wamid.HBgMOTIzMDQwMTY1ODA0FQIAERgSOEM3RDJDRDMyMkFENkIzMTgyAA=="}]}

this php code that I am using.

        $curl = curl_init();         curl_setopt_array($curl, array(             CURLOPT_URL => 'https://graph.facebook.com/v13.0/********/messages/',             CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,             CURLOPT_ENCODING => '',             CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,             CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 0,             CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true,             CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,             CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => 'POST',             CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS =>json_encode(array("to"=> $number, "messaging_product" => 'whatsapp', "recipient_type" => 'individual',"type"=>"text", 'text'=> array('body'=>'hello_wo332233rld','preview_url'=>'false'))),             CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(                 'Authorization: Bearer '.$chatApiToken,                 'Content-Type: application/json'             ),         ));         $response = curl_exec($curl);         curl_close($curl);         echo $response;

    Hey I came across the same problem and the solution was to upgrade whatsapp to the latest version on my phone. I added some troubleshooting issues to the Ruby library that could help with similar problems.

      I had the same issue, but after change the phone number, worked, so, the solution: change the phone number!

      Has anyone found the solution yet? Changing the phone number isnt the solution as so far I have changed 5.

    Here is a sample code, hope it helps. It works for me

    Point to remember Mentioning a template name is mandatory. The messages are subject to the approved templates

    $number = $_GET['number']; //you can use POST, I tried GET for testing $template = array( 'name'=>'hello_world', //your your own or any default template. The names and samples are listed under message templates 'language'=>array('code'=>'en_us') //you can use yours ); $endpoint = 'https://graph.facebook.com/v15.0/USE_YOUR_OWN/messages'; $params = array('messaging_product'=>'whatsapp', 'to'=>$number, 'type'=>'template', 'from'=>'91xxxxxxxxxx', 'access_token'=>'YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN','template'=>json_encode($template)); $headers = array('Authorization'=>'YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN','Content-Type'=>'application/json', 'User-Agent'=>'(Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/68.0.3440.106 Safari/537.36'); $url = $endpoint . '?' . http_build_query($params); //echo $params.'<br>'; $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt( $ch,CURLOPT_URL, $endpoint); curl_setopt( $ch,CURLOPT_POST, true ); curl_setopt( $ch,CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers ); curl_setopt( $ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true ); curl_setopt( $ch,CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false ); curl_setopt( $ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $params); $result = curl_exec($ch ); echo $result; //you can skip this, I did it to check the results curl_close( $ch );

    This finally echos the result as

    {"messaging_product":"whatsapp","contacts":[{"input":"15645446547","wa_id":"15645446547"}],"messages":[{"id":"wamid.HBgLMTU2NDU0NDY1NDcVAgARGBIwNjJEMjc3NzIzQzA2RjY2QTYA"}]}

    And the message is getting received.

    refer the following thread on how to pass a parameter AKA "passing components"

    How to send the components in whatsapp cloud api?
