WhatsApp allows businesses to send pre-approved template messages as notifications to users once the business goes live on WhatsApp Business API. These notifications can be account update, payment update, shipping update etc.

Serri  offers businesses an easy gateway to send notifications and track performance through campaigns. Businesses can even broadcast messages apart from automating them.

In this article, we’re going to see how to send automated messages to users through Serri  in 3 simple steps.

Pre-requisites

1. Verified WhatsApp Business API
​

2. At least one pre-approved template message
​

3. Tools to make HTTP/S request (We’ll be using Postman in this article).

STEP 1: Create an API campaign

If you haven’t registered for Serri , Sign up today.

Go to Serri  -> Login -> Create a new project or open your existing project -> Campaigns -> Launch campaign -> Select API campaign -> Create your new campaign –> Set your campaign live

There you go, you have created your first API campaign.

STEP 2: Generate API key

STEP 3: Send notification to user

We’ll be using the name of the campaign and key from previous steps. To avoid the hassle of configuring messages on the business end, The API is designed to receive the parameters’ values to be filled in templates before sending them to users.
