Send Your First Message
Once a provider is connected, send a message to your own phone.
Sender
Every sender belongs to one provider. Settings → Senders & Numbers shows which.
Send
Open the Inbox, start a conversation with your number and send.
Business-started WhatsApp messages need an approved template.
Connect in Settings → Infobip with your Base URL and API key. The Base URL is the personal host in your Infobip dashboard, not api.infobip.com — copy it without a trailing slash.
Add your number in Settings → Senders & Numbers → Add Sender → Meta Direct, and paste the webhook address and verify token into Meta for Developers → Your App → WhatsApp → Configuration.
Add your number in Settings → Senders & Numbers → Add Sender → Twilio, and set the incoming and status callback addresses on your Twilio number or Messaging Service.

Why Can I Not Send WhatsApp First?
Outside the 24-hour window, WhatsApp only allows approved templates. Start with a template.
