Introducing WhatsApp channel

WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging apps in the world, with over 2 billion users. It offers a simple and convenient way for people to communicate with each other in real-time, whether it’s for personal or business purposes.

WhatsApp also provides an API that allows developers to build custom applications that can send and receive messages through the WhatsApp platform.
