so does this allow programmatic chat between your own number (not a twilio assigned number) and someone else?

Hi, sorry for the delay! It is possible, but please note that there are some messaging volume requirements: help.twilio.com/articles/360052171393-Can-I-register-my-own-phone-number-for-WhatsApp-on-Twilio-

How do l get to connect to twilio to send WhatsApp text from Matlab?

[@reinaldosotillo4890]

When I enter the `sandbox setting`, a link appears that ends with demo-reply, can I use that? If so, how do I use it?

[@TwilioDevs]

Thank you for reaching out. We might need to get a little bit more information to fully verify if this can be used. I'd suggest opening a ticket directly within your Dashboard so we can further reivew. In the mean time, this link does have a live demo video on how to go about utilizing the Whatsapp Sandbox. www.twilio.com/docs/whatsapp/quickstart/go

@@TwilioDevs Thanks for the response, I want to send audio in .mp3 format not a url, what should be done in that case?

Is it possible to send whatsapp messages to existing whatsapp groups using Twilio? If yes, how?

[@MarkMarconi]

I have the same question

[@TwilioDevs]

WhatsApp deprecated its Groups API in 2020. Twilio supports group messaging through Twilio Conversations but it does not use native groups. More details here: www.twilio.com/code-exchange/whatsapp-group-messaging

I need help triggering Studio Flows to send WhatsApp messages.

[@TwilioDevs]

If you're triggering the Flow from the REST API this will probably help: help.twilio.com/articles/360007778153 You just need a Send Message widget and format the "To" field as "whatsapp:[phone]" substituting in the correct number.

2:54 This I believe is not correct, the order is from -> body -> to . Was not giving me any error but my phone was not receiving the message, once i saw how it was ordered in the sandbox defaul code and set it up like it, i did received the code.

[@TwilioDevs]

Thanks for watching. The code in this video is directly from our documentation and works as shown. It's possible you weren't receiving it due to something else.
