My idea is: Out of box support for WhatsApp without third party. Meta (Facebook) have release for the public WhatsApp API. > **[WhatsApp Business Cloud API - Documentation - Facebook for Developers](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api)** I think these groups of people would benefit from this idea: Businesses will appreciate having a direct two-way communication channel to communicate via messaging Why I think they would benefit from this idea: Almost everyone uses WhatsApp Any code or resources to support this idea: just a feature request, I can assist in no-code area. Are you willing to work on this idea?: Sure, any no-code requirements What skills and resources do you need to explore this further? ---

I’ve talked with Twilio, and they said that to send a WhatsApp message through them you’d just need to send the phone number as “whatsapp:+1234567890”. This should be achievable with a few changes to the Twilio plugin: \*Add WhatsApp as an available feature with the Twilio plugin \*When the WhatsApp feature is enabled, create a new campaign action called “Send WhatsApp message” \*When that campaign action is executed, append “whatsapp:” to the beginning of the phone number (which Mautic would normally use for sending a text message" \*Add an option for “Send WhatsApp” to Segment SMS, which would also add “whatsapp:” to the beginning of the phone number when sending the number to Twilio. ---

That cool but it will be great to have a direct WhatsApp integration without going through a third party now that the API is open to the public. ---

I was looking at the documentation and I guess my standard WhatsApp plugin via Zender can be modified, will see next week if I can try that, but only to send messages templates via the text (sms) channel. Do you think that is good enough? BTW my plugin is based on Joey’s one
