I am trying to use the Twilio API to send WhatsApp messages to a group but I could not find any support. WhatsApp Business API supports this use case, so I was wondering if Twilio has support for messaging to WhatsApp groups instead of individuals.

Looked at Twilio documentation but there wasn't any API for it.

We are planning to communicate with our customer through whatsapp so what will be the best api for the same , what i learned about Whatsapp business api is we can only communicate with users who will send message first we can not initiate the conversation. is there any possible way to achieve the same ?

I'm trying to implement a button that shares the current page on WhatsApp, there's no issue with using the link on phone but on desktop I can't send it to WhatsApp web or open WhatsApp web if it's not opened yet.

I was searching for long on Stack Overflow and other webpages as well on documentation, which I can't find (I only face Android documentation but not web documentation for it).

I referred to https://api.whatsapp.com nut no info can be found here. No info about WhatsApp share API here: https://developers.facebook.com/ neither on resuts from search share WhatsApp or sharing WhatsApp.

My approach is this line as I said someone posting here: How to implements whatsapp share button in website

<a href="https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=this%20was%20amazing%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.es%2F" target="_blank">Share to whatsapp</a> 

I bet that this function was moved to WhatsApp for business, are it?

OK I found this browsing on latest Google's result pages:

<a href="https://web.whatsapp.com/send?text=this%20was%20amazing%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.es%2F" target="_blank">share to whatsapp web</a> 

This does not answer the question at all as it's supposed to work as a single button with detect and fallback (api.whatsapp I mean), but it can be a nice approach to show and hide one of these two options if the client is on desktop or in mobile.

If someone knows a different approach it could be nice.

Another issue/bug with this approach is that on desktop, it opens always a new web.whatsapp.com tab even if you've it opened before.

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.
