I would like to implement notifications through WhatsApp API into my app. I've done lots of research but I couldn't find anything official.

Officially WhatsApp API Bussiness exists, but it is a beta version and only for companies that send massive volume of messages (1 million+). There is also Twilio, it requires a business approval and I got denied because (again) my volume requirement isn't into the millions of messages per month.

Unofficial libraries exist that potentially could get the job done. I looked into it and the one that I was contemplating seemed to be unreliable. But is this really the only way?

Since the start of pandemic I've been receiving all sorts of ads with apps that offer WhatsApp notification for orders and customer services... how are they doing it? I know they are small businesses, so there must be a way.

My app was built using JavaScript/React, any information is appreciated.

I use smooch to connect a bot to whatsapp.

My webhook is configured with includeClient - to get user information.

I am wondering if it is possible to get the user profile picture in smooch with the whatsapp business api?

I am new in whatsapp business API integration and i successfully installed Docker and postman collection.

Referring below link : https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/installation/dev-single-instance

Now in postman collection they mentioned regarding {{ URL }}

Collection Link : https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/guides/postman

The first thing you should replace is the URL which represents the webapp endpoint. You'll see that all of the requests will reference this variable via {{URL}} so it's important you get this right.

How can i get this Valid URL ?

I tried hard but unable to find it.

Help me if anybody know this.

Thanks in advance.

As a developer i would like to test WhatsApp Business API integration.. I am looking for a way to test WhatsApp Business API end points is there any way to test in a short and easy way without Verifying business account and using base-64 certificate as mentioned at Whatsapp Business API Getting Started at below URL, https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/getting-started

I know that Amazon Lex bots can be included inside a Contact Flow in Amazon Connect and that Lex bots can link to Channels including Facebook Messenger but I’m unsure how to initiate a new Contact Flow instance from a new Facebook user connecting via Facebook Messenger or similar via Twilio WhatsApp API. Chat has only just been added to Amazon Connect so might not yet be supported directly so open to external solutions.
