WhatsApp Send Files

All API calls must be authenticated with an Access Token.  Developers can authenticate their API calls with the access token generated in App Dashboard > WhatsApp > Getting Started

 

The API calls return the Message Id as a string.

 

When you send a File using the WhatsApp API, first the message is uploaded to WhatsApp servers and then a new message is sent with the object id returned after upload the file.
