Send message not working

[kevinnyotosusanto]

Hello, i tried to use the class and send message but nothing happen and im not receiving any message. i installed using composer and then include the class then i have this code

$whatsapp_cloud_api = new WhatsAppCloudApi([ 'from_phone_number_id' => 'xx', 'access_token' => 'xx', ]);

$whatsapp_cloud_api->sendTextMessage('xx', 'Hey there! I\'m using WhatsApp Cloud API. Visit https://www.netflie.es');

am i wrong? btw i used the temporary token

Hi,

1. Send a first message from the developer console in Facebook. Please check the Setup Guide.
2. Reply to the previous message from you WhatsApp App installed in your phone
3. Now you can use the Cloud API

Remember that you only can send messages from and to your configured testing mobiles in a testing environment.

Best regards, Alex.

hi sorry to ask again, is it a must to do the 3 step above (send msg from developer console, reply then use the cloud api) everytime i need to send msg to another number? or is it just first time using cloud api? thanks

@kevinnyotosusanto when your number get verified you will be able to send approved template message to any number, without this steps. whatsapp now allowing you to send free form messages unless you are in the 24 hour windows from last customer replay

@kevinnyotosusanto Were you able to make it work with an approved number rather than a test number?

@boynet How do you get your number verified?

[kevinnyotosusanto]

@hacker-prime i only tested this with fb test number so i only send message to registered number. havent try use my own number and send to any number. if you want to send template msg u can do it to any number but need other ppl to text you first to be able to send message that not in your template msg.
