# `bird whatsapp groups`

## Usage

```bash
bird whatsapp groups
```

## Description

A group is one WhatsApp chat shared between a business number and up to 8 people, who
join by opening its invite link — no operation adds anyone. Creating, changing and
deleting a group are asynchronous: the response is the request accepted, and re-reading
the group is how you see WhatsApp settle it.

Reads return JSON; list is paginated. Mutations take flags and/or a --body-file JSON body (flags overriding); run --example to print the body shape or --dry-run to preview the request. Destructive commands require --yes.
