I'm trying to use the API to send to myself a custom message, I can already send a hello world template, but I been unable to send myself a custom only text message.
//API token given by Meta $token = '*private*'; //Reciever number of msg $telefono = '*private*'; //URL of msg given by Meta $url = '*I think is private too*'; $mensaje = '{"messaging_product": "whatsapp", "to": "'.$telefono.'", "type": "text", "text": {"preview_url": false, "body": "MESSAGE_CONTENT" }}'; //header of msg $header = array("Authorization: Bearer " . $token, "Content-Type: application/json");
so that's what I use to make the Curl to send the message, which I do like this
//curl init $curl = curl_init(); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $mensaje); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); //get response from information sent $response = json_decode(curl_exec($curl),true); //print response print_r($response); //get curl response code $status_code = curl_getinfo($curl, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE); print_r($status_code); //close curl curl_close($curl);
I think is kind of working, because it shows on screen this result
Array ( [messaging_product] => whatsapp [contacts] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [input] => phone [wa_id] => 56994134989 ) ) [messages] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [id] => i think is private too ) ) ) 200
In the end I just need to test if its possible to send myself custom text messages, the thing is that this code isn't working as I want it to, as you should see, on the print of the result and the status_code, the code is 200 what makes me think that the request is going through at some point but maybe it need something else to finally be sent to my phone.
