... forget that example - service it uses is broken.

The problem you'll find with WhatsApp is they don't offer a public API so you are reliant on going through 3rd parties, many of which won't be long lived as they will be forced to shut by WhatsApp. Even reputable gateways like Zapier don't currently have a WhatsApp integration

I've looked at this before, and WhatsApp only usual provide the API to well known businesses.

A little off topic. I would like to think that this is possible to interface with whatsapp with an RPA tool (one is currently on bargain offer here https://appsumo.com/products/robomotion-rpa/).

Connecting to whatsapp via Twilio sandbox is discussed here: https://www.robomotion.io/webinar/whatsapp-automation-with-rpa/

On the other hand, interconnection with whatsapp web, whilst not attempted by Robomotion themselves, has been messaged as 'hard but not impossible'. https://discord.com/channels/806410195688751184/807010997029961768/903702951481208902

(Disclaimer: I'm not affiliated with Robomotion, except that I am a happy customer ... through it I integrate a couple of external services into google sheets, and back)
