I'm currently exploring the capabilities of the WhatsApp Business API for a project I'm working on. I'm wondering if the WhatsApp Business API supports sending messages to WhatsApp groups. I've read through the documentation, but I couldn't find a clear answer on this specific feature.
Could someone who has experience with the WhatsApp Business API clarify whether it supports sending messages to WhatsApp groups? If it does, are there any specific limitations or requirements that I should be aware of?
I used WhatsApp Business API's cloud API in Postman to send messages. However, I've noticed that the API only allows sending messages to individual recipients. Here's the request I'm using:
POST = https://graph.facebook.com/{{Version}}/{{Phone-Number-ID}}/messages
Body = { "messaging_product": "whatsapp", "recipient_type": "individual", "to": "{{Recipient-Phone-Number}}", "type": "document", "document": { "link": "https://test.pdf", "filename": "Test" } }
I couldn't find a way to send messages to WhatsApp groups using this API. Is there a specific endpoint or method I should be using to send messages to WhatsApp groups? Or does the API indeed only support sending messages to individual recipients?
Any insights or guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks you!
There is no way.
While it appears that there is no official way to send messages to WhatsApp groups using the WhatsApp Business API, I'm curious about how other platforms like Ultramsg, Mytapi, and Whapi claim to provide such services
Are these platforms using unofficial methods, or is there a legitimate way to accomplish this that I'm unaware of?
