The WhatsApp Group Messages feature allows you to send messages to members of an existing WhatsApp group through the Kaleyra WhatsApp API. Instead of sending the same message individually to each participant, you can target a specific WhatsApp group using its unique group identifier and have Meta deliver the message to all members of that group in a single API request.
You can send any of the supported WhatsApp message types, such as text and media messages. Messages sent to a group are delivered within the shared WhatsApp group conversation, where group members can view the message and participate in the conversation. Kaleyra's WhatsApp APIs support multiple message types, including text, media, document, location, template, and interactive messages.
This feature can be used for team communication, project updates, announcements, event coordination, community engagement, and other scenarios where communication needs to be shared with multiple participants in the same WhatsApp group.
