To send WhatsApp templates, you need to first add template in Templates manager by following steps mentioned in guide How To Add A New Template? – CRM Messaging (crm-messaging.cloud)

Now to send templates, make a POST call to WhatsApp API

curl --location --request POST 'https://app.crm-messaging.cloud/index.php/Api/sendMsg' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer API_TOKEN' \
--form 'to="PHONE_NUMBER"' \
--form 'msg="MESSAGE_BODY"' \
--form 'tempName="TEMP_UNIQUE_NAME"'

Here API_TOKEN can be found in the developer console Text Messaging for Marketers and Sales Reps – CRM Messaging (crm-messaging.cloud)

PHONE_NUMBER is to number with the country code where you want to send WhatsApp

MESSAGE_BODY is WhatsApp template body

tempName is the unique name of the template as saved in facebook WhatsApp template manager

channel is either whatsapp or SMS

lang is as per language saved in the template, you can find this code in template manager Text Messaging for Marketers and Sales Reps – CRM Messaging (crm-messaging.cloud) for eg. Pass en_US for English(US)
