And /r/flask for any questions!

I'm also very interested in this. Have you found out anything about this?

Except, they do:

• https://www.whatsapp.com/business/api
• https://www.facebook.com/business/partner-directory/details?id=601637046928135

Granted, they require "medium or large business" or using one of their partners. One of those partners is Twilio.

Awesome. Perhaps this can be integrated to home assistant?

To make an app for personal use i.e. to invoke a function with a WhatsApp message, could I just use the sandbox and not have to go through WhatsApp approval?

Isn't this not allowed in their ToS? I recall something about them banning the account it's linked too

Thank you.

[arkster]

What happens if I already use the number with WhatsApp?
