How it works

Up and running in 3 steps

1

Create an account & get your API key

Sign up for free, go to the dashboard, and copy your API key. No credit card required to start.

2

Connect a WhatsApp number

Create a session in the dashboard, scan the QR code with your WhatsApp app, and your number is live.

POST /api/sessions/create/ → { "session_id": "my-shop" }
3

Send your first message

Call the REST API from your app, bot, or automation tool. It's one HTTP call.

POST /api/send/ → { "status": "sent" }
