B4J Question How to send whatsapp message with attachment via B4J code?

[amorosik]

I'd like to create a program that listens for external requests and sends a WhatsApp message with attachments to a specific phone number
I see that many people use Internet Explorer as the loading method and then resort to sending keys, or Chrome and Selenium
Both options aren't satisfactory for me; the first is due to the inherent fragility of the sendkey, and the second because it requires external libraries that aren't always easy to load and use

Still using a free solution, and having WhatsApp Web active on any browser (for example Firefox), how can I enable the B4J code to send a message with attachments to a specific phone number?

Use the WhatsApp API or a 3rd party API service (Twilio, WASender, Vonage, Make, etc.). I've not used WhatsApp functionality, specifically, but the API is included in some of the ones I do use for SMS, MMS and so on.

IMHO, Green API is the best option. Its free for up to certain level. https://green-api.com/en . I am using it to send daily Good Morning messages with images to my whatsapp group ( I am using Google App Script)

It's not a free solution
