Whatsapp Direct Messaging API
This API allows user to create a link to their whatsapp account without the needs to save the phone number. Using it on the desktop will start a conversation using Whatsapp Web while on mobile Whatsapp will automatically open and start a conversation.
It's more like 'Click to Whatsapp' thingy or maybe 'Surf to Whatsapp'. Have fun!
You can also use the official one below.
Features
