In this annex you will learn how to send messages from your templates. WhatsAPP templates allow you to send more elaborate messages than text messages, allowing you to attach files, as well as include buttons in your messages.
Options
The options allow you to send interactive messages, attach images, videos, documents and share locations via WhatsApp. To do this, here you will learn how to customize the "options" parameter. The "options" parameter must be a string in JSON format following the following specifications:
Main parameters
header | Details about the message header (optional) |
---|---|
params | Values to the different values of the template (optional) |
Example
{"header":"", "params": ""} |

Which API for Objective C / iPhone should I use?
Discover the advantages and disadvantages of each of our APIs. Find out which API is best for your Software in Objective C / iPhone.
This API allows you to connect to us from Objective C / iPhone to send requests via HTTP GET requests. This request sends the parameters in the same URL as the request.
- HTTP GET is extremely simple to implement
- Information is sent unencrypted (passwords could be extracted from logs or cache)
- Maximum request of ~4000 characters
The POST request API allows you to connect to our API from Objective C / iPhone by sending request parameters via HTTP POST parameters. The information is sent independently of the URL.
- HTTP POST is simple to implement
- Information is sent encrypted
- There is no limit on the size of the request
- Medium security
The basic authentication API allows the use of GET and POST requests in Objective C / iPhone with an additional security layer, since in this case the username and password are sent in the header of the request.
- Basic authentication is easy to implement
- Access data is sent encrypted
- The size limit depends on the use of GET or POST
- Medium security
SOAP allows you to send requests in XML format with Objective C / iPhone, SOAP adds an extra layer of security to API requests.
- SOAP integration is more complex
