Thanks for this, actually the complexity comes into play when you are hosting/providing this WhatsApp business API to your clients as SAAS (just like Twilio and the Indian platform you talked about)
Yes, I will agree with you there are some complexities with the SAAS platform, but it can be overcome, and sometime complex things are good :)

ok
Best Explanation! Thank You
Hello, Great explanation! I wonder can i create a whatsapp interface outside of whatsapp? and send messages with it? i've liked to hear your ideas.
@ömerakbaba-d7f Yes, that will be a great if you can use whatsapp api as a rest api into you own interface.
How can I use this code for a direct message instead of a template? I tried it for a direct message, getting a success status, but not receiving the message on WhatsApp.
Yes, the WhatsApp Business API can be used without templates, but with certain limitations depending on the context of the conversation. If you don't follow this points then message will success but will not recived the message.
1. User-Initiated Conversations
2. Beyond the 24-Hour Window
3. Interactive Messages
4. Opt-In Messages
It is better to used template for this above limitations.
Hey man, thanks so much!
You said about message templates and I had a question. Can you tell me if I send some messages that are not in a template, will my number be banned?
I want to send the first message as a template and the following as personalized
@LuizFelipe-fr3ce ok, The thing is that you can send the custom message from the very start but it is recommended to use the template. if you send the message according to the rules of Facebook and with proper nobs, your phone number will not get blocked. Also, it just comes to my mind to check the rate limit of the API calls per/sec or mint which is very important. Happy coding
Hi thanks for the explanation, but what if I want to send a message to a user, only when they send me a message and give them a few buttons, that lets say tells them when my store is open?
@jakethegreat6106 To achieve this with the WhatsApp API, you would need to set up an automated response that triggers when you receive a message from a user. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how you might set this up:
1. Set Up Your WhatsApp API: First, you need access to the WhatsApp Business API, which is typically used through a Business Service Provider (BSP) or directly if you have access to the API.
2. Webhook Configuration: Configure a webhook in your WhatsApp API implementation. The webhook will notify your server when you receive messages from WhatsApp users.
3. Server Logic: On your server, set up logic to handle incoming webhook events.
4. Sending a Message with Buttons (Interactive Message): You can send a message with "Quick Reply" buttons using a template message that you have pre-approved through your WhatsApp Business API account.
I hope that give answare to you question.
@@code-180 thank you very much🙏
can you also show the WhatsApp integartion using Twilio with NodeJS
Not sure as there are a lot of documents to verify before I can do that. As I have used twilio a lot I can say that it will be very easy with their SDK. Thanks
Thanks for sharing
Bro can we add multiple from number and use for different business line
No, one account is realted to one phone number at the time of making that video but this feature can be added in future but for now it is single number single account as per I know.
I am trying to add a valid whatsapp business account to my business manager. In the add people option under "Whatsapp Accounts", it is not allowing me to add people. I want to add a system user to this whatsapp account
@Ajrev To add a valid WhatsApp Business account to your Facebook Business Manager and assign a system user, follow these steps to resolve the issue:
1. Ensure WhatsApp Business Account is Verified
2. Add a System User
3. Grant System User Permissions to WhatsApp Account
I am writing this comments as per reding the documantion and other article so please do some reding on this and follow this points I hope it will help you.
I already have a verified business account but it is not showing when i click "Start using api". It ask me to create a new business profile. why?
@brishisharma I have told that in the video that if there is number that has been alreday use in a whatapp then whatapp will not excep that. I thing you bussiness account number is alreday in use that is why the sytem is asking for new account. If that is not the case you can contact there support. Hope that help
i have created this and setup whatsapp automation and its working in local but when I deploy its not working what to do ?
If your WhatsApp API automation works locally but not after deployment, there could be several reasons for this issue. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and resolve the problem I think you should look into:
1. Check Environment Variables
2. Verify Webhook URL
3. Check for Network and Firewall Issues
4. Check Rate Limits and API Access
5. Update Dependencies
6. Deployment Configuration
7. Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS)
If all the above points are checked by you. I think then you are runing the tings in production mode and it need to approved and all the document need to submited befour you use for production.
@@code-180 yea it worked when i put environment variables. But its only working when I put timer of less time like 5 minutes or 10 minutes its not working for like 1 hour what to do?
Can I create a new Facebook account and Facebook business manager rather than using personal account?
@ajithsubramanian9567 Absolutely
Please can you setup our webhook for our WhatsApp api
Sure, Send me the details on the official channel email.
Is "To" number will be only one?
Because I wanted to send the msg to multiple user's WhatsApp
did you find any answer regarding this
@rashad7865 In WhatsApp, the "To" number typically refers to a single recipient for a message. However, if you want to send a message to multiple users, you have several options:
Groups: You can create a group and add the users you want to message. Any message you send to the group will be received by all members of the group.
Broadcast Lists: This feature allows you to send messages to multiple contacts, where messages are sent individually to each recipient. The recipients will not see that the message was sent to others, and their replies will appear in your one-on-one chat with them. To use this, the recipients must have your phone number saved in their contacts.
If you're using the WhatsApp API or a third-party service to send messages programmatically, you would typically need to loop through a list of numbers and send the message to each one individually. Happy Coding
As of now i am using meta cloud whatsapp api in trial mode without my number and without payment method.
And i am only able to send messages to those numbers which i have added in To numbers list.
But in business i will need to send message to any user. How is that possible?
@bhavyamangla1400 Just give them money stop the trial and you have a number resgiter with the API and you are all free to go :)
Do I really to update the token everyday?
No Not Manually, That is a barer token you should be using oauth2 authentication for generating the token and sending the message using the token. - Link -oauth.net/2/
After sending test message to my personal number account got blocked any idea
@ArunKumar-iv3wy, Please check with a different number, are you suing any proxy if == yes then please don't do that or don't use any VPN
Appeal it. You will get reactivated as long as test
Great 👍 but why msg take time...
what about webhook to receive messages?
@muhammadfarjadaliraza4546 Yes you can receive a webhook to receive messages status and other details.
if i want to send the number then i am getting error any idea ?
@instantbollywood7428 To short info to tell someting.
@@code-180 actually suppose I am having a number which is dynamic and in node js I am creating that number how can I create a template?
@instantbollywood7428 If you number is dynamic that is fine the message template is not depend on the number as template is someting that is more like the pattern of message or the message itself
@@code-180 but how i need to form it ? whats the exact syntax of template? Also one more thing before doing this is it mandatory that business is verified ?

Hi sir, when i am adding payment method it ask to add business info and asking me to enter GST no, do you have any idea how to proceed without GST as i dont have GST no
It can't be processed without GST, if they process without GST it will be illegal from the tax prospective.
Is whatsapp Business API from Meta free?
No, It is not as you will get charged on the number of api call.
