Why it matters
Combines instance management, all WhatsApp message types, group administration, and webhook configuration in one API instead of requiring multiple separate services.
Typical use cases
- Send automated order confirmation messages to customers via WhatsApp
- Build a customer support bot with interactive button and list menus
- Manage multiple WhatsApp instances from a single API
- Run group polls with up to 12 voting options
- Trigger WhatsApp notifications from external events via webhooks
