I guess whatsapp business api client is only used pre-selected company which whatsapp grant. So, i want to know my guessing is right or not.

According to official guide, i need to register phone number to whatsapp. I guess here exist whatsapp menu. but i can't see menu. (Sorry, i dont know the way website display english language)

Official guide mentions this. "If you cant see WhatsApp account option, you cant use Business API yet"

So i search how can i access Business API, and i can see this in WhatsApp FAQ.

Finally, according to below link, WhatsApp has granted to 90 pre-selected companies. https://medium.com/callbell/what-changes-with-the-release-of-the-whatsapp-business-apis-46994316b763

As a result, if i want to use whatsapp business api, i need to use service which is provided official whatsapp partner company like twilio.

Someone tell me that My result is right?

gupshup.io provides a way to utilise whatsapp business by exposing a single api interface. I am exploring it. But the documentation is poor. I wonder how the entire conversation can be tied together. Is there any session that is initiated when the message exchange begins? The official site suggests to use Stack Overflow as forum and hence the question.

Following to this documentation https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/business-management-api/phone-numbers about whatsapp business accounts, it is possible to have multiple phone numbers in one account. Does someone know how you can define from which number a message is send, when sending a message to a client? There is nothing in the api about sending messages.

following to the documentation you can read the phone numbers and their whatsapp id via

curl -X GET \ 'https://graph.facebook.com/v3.3/your-whatsapp-business-account-id/phone_numbers' \   -d 'access_token=your-access-token' 

example result

{   "data": [     {       "verified_name": "Jasper's Market",       "display_phone_number": "+1 631-555-5555",       "id": "1906385232743451",       "quality_rating": "GREEN"     },     {       "verified_name": "Jasper's Ice Cream",       "display_phone_number": "+1 631-555-5556",       "id": "1913623884432103",       "quality_rating": "NA"     }   ], } 

I would expect something like a senderId field when sending a message.

While trying Developer setup: Single Instance from WhatsApp Business Api with following documentation at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/installation/dev-single-instance#setup

Getting the following error while trying Initial Setup#Step 7

Their was an error in connecting https://localhost:9090/v1/health 

Using postman collection as suggested in Step 6. Seems to be docker issue, but not sure.

Any idea?

I'm trying to send a document media message in Whatsapp Business API using LINK instead of uploading the file, but I got the following error:

"errors":[         {            "code":1008,          "title":"Required parameter is missing",          "details":"Parameter 'id' is mandatory for type 'document'"       }    ] 

Here is the JSON request object:

{      "recipient_type":"individual",    "to":"TELEPHONE_NUMBER_HIDDEN",    "type":"document",    "document":{         "link":"google-drive/https://drive.google.com/open?id=HIDDEN_DOCUMENT_ID",       "provider":{            "name":"google-drive"       },       "caption":"CAPTION MESSAGE"    } } 

Do you have any idea regarding this? I can't use external services like Twilio.
