bird whatsapp send

Usage

कोड उदाहरण

bird whatsapp send [flags]

Description

Send a WhatsApp template message to one recipient.

Sending is outbound and irreversible: it reports "accepted", not "delivered" — read the message back with "bird whatsapp get" to confirm delivery. Bird selects the sender number from the template's category. Templates are currently the only supported content type, so every send needs one (browse them with "bird whatsapp templates list").

Build the request from flags, a JSON WhatsAppMessageSendRequest body via --body-file ("-" reads stdin), or both — a flag overrides the matching body field. Run --example to print a ready-to-edit body, or --dry-run to print the resolved request without sending it.

Examples
