Is there an API to send outbound WhatsApp messages (templates)?

Hi everyone,

GoTo Connect supports sending outbound WhatsApp messages using pre-approved templates:
https://support.goto.com/connect/help/send-an-outbound-whatsapp-message

I'd like to trigger these outbound WhatsApp template messages programmatically from our own application instead of sending them manually from the inbox.

I'm aware of the GoTo Messaging REST API for SMS (the "Send SMS" tutorial and the messaging.v1.send OAuth scope), but I couldn't find anything in the developer docs about WhatsApp specifically.

A few questions:

1. Is there a public API endpoint to send outbound WhatsApp messages (using approved templates)?
2. If it isn't available yet, is it on the roadmap?

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Hi @samuelpares,

Everything that is currently supported by our API is documented on our developers site, and I do not believe this is currently on the roadmap. I would assume that we are using the WhatsApp API to send the messages,
