composer require netflie/whatsapp-cloud-api
<?php
// Require the Composer autoloader.
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Netflie\WhatsAppCloudApi\WhatsAppCloudApi;
// Instantiate the WhatsAppCloudApi super class.
$whatsapp_cloud_api = new WhatsAppCloudApi([
'from_phone_number_id' => 'your-configured-from-phone-number-id',
'access_token' => 'your-facebook-whatsapp-application-token',
]);
$whatsapp_cloud_api->sendTextMessage('34676104574', 'Hey there! I\'m using WhatsApp Cloud API. Visit https://www.netflie.es');
You can send documents in two ways: by uploading a file to the WhatsApp Cloud servers (where you will receive an identifier) or from a link to a document published on internet.
<?php
use Netflie\WhatsAppCloudApi\Message\Media\LinkID;
use Netflie\WhatsAppCloudApi\Message\Media\MediaObjectID;
$document_id = '341476474779872';
$document_name = 'whatsapp-cloud-api-from-id.pdf';
$document_caption = 'WhastApp API Cloud Guide';
// With the Media Object ID of some document upload on the WhatsApp Cloud servers
$media_id = new MediaObjectID($document_id);
$whatsapp_cloud_api->sendDocument('34676104574', $media_id, $document_name, $document_caption);
// Or
$document_link = 'https://netflie.es/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/image.png';
$link_id = new LinkID($document_link);
$whatsapp_cloud_api->sendDocument('34676104574', $link_id, $document_name, $document_caption);
<?php
$whatsapp_cloud_api->sendTemplate('34676104574', 'hello_world', 'en_US'); // Language is optional
You also can build templates with parameters:
<?php
use Netflie\WhatsAppCloudApi\Message\Template\Component;
$component_header = [];
$component_body = [
[
'type' => 'text',
'text' => '*Mr Jones*',
],
];
$component_buttons = [
[
'type' => 'button',
'sub_type' => 'quick_reply',
'index' => 0,
'parameters' => [
[
'type' => 'text',
'text' => 'Yes',
]
]
],
[
'type' => 'button',
'sub_type' => 'quick_reply',
'index' => 1,
'parameters' => [
[
'type' => 'text',
'text' => 'No',
]
]
]
];
$components = new Component($component_header, $component_body, $component_buttons);
$whatsapp_cloud_api->sendTemplate('34676104574', 'sample_issue_resolution', 'en_US', $components); // Language is optional
<?php
use Netflie\WhatsAppCloudApi\Message\Media\LinkID;
$audio_link = 'https://netflie.es/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/file_example_OOG_1MG.ogg';
$link_id = new LinkID($audio_link);
$whatsapp_cloud_api->sendAudio('34676104574', $link_id);
<?php
use Netflie\WhatsAppCloudApi\Message\Media\LinkID;
use Netflie\WhatsAppCloudApi\Message\Media\MediaObjectID;
$link_id = new LinkID('http(s)://image-url');
$whatsapp_cloud_api->sendImage('<destination-phone-number>', $link_id);
//or
$media_id = new MediaObjectID('<image-object-id>');
$whatsapp_cloud_api->sendImage('<destination-phone-number>', $media_id);
<?php
use Netflie\WhatsAppCloudApi\Message\Media\LinkID;
use Netflie\WhatsAppCloudApi\Message\Media\MediaObjectID;
$link_id = new LinkID('http(s)://video-url');
$whatsapp_cloud_api->sendVideo('<destination-phone-number>', $link_id, '<video-caption>');
//or
$media_id = new MediaObjectID('<image-object-id>');
$whatsapp_cloud_api->sendVideo('<destination-phone-number>', $media_id, '<video-caption>');
Stickers sample: https://github.com/WhatsApp/stickers
<?php
use Netflie\WhatsAppCloudApi\Message\Media\LinkID;
use Netflie\WhatsAppCloudApi\Message\Media\MediaObjectID;
$link_id = new LinkID('http(s)://sticker-url');
$whatsapp_cloud_api->sendSticker('<destination-phone-number>', $link_id);
//or
$media_id = new MediaObjectID('<sticker-object-id>');
$whatsapp_cloud_api->sendSticker('<destination-phone-number>', $media_id);
<?php
$whatsapp_cloud_api->sendLocation('<destination-phone-number>', $longitude, $latitude, $name, $address);
<?php
use Netflie\WhatsAppCloudApi\Message\Contact\ContactName;
use Netflie\WhatsAppCloudApi\Message\Contact\Phone;
use Netflie\WhatsAppCloudApi\Message\Contact\PhoneType;
$name = new ContactName('Adams', 'Smith');
$phone = new Phone('34676204577', PhoneType::CELL());
$whatsapp_cloud_api->sendContact('<destination-phone-number>', $name, $phone);
<?php
use Netflie\WhatsAppCloudApi\Message\OptionsList\Row;
use Netflie\WhatsAppCloudApi\Message\OptionsList\Section;
use Netflie\WhatsAppCloudApi\Message\OptionsList\Action;
$rows = [
new Row('1', '⭐️', "Experience wasn't good enough"),
new Row('2', '⭐⭐️', "Experience could be better"),
new Row('3', '⭐⭐⭐️', "Experience was ok"),
new Row('4', '⭐⭐️⭐⭐', "Experience was good"),
new Row('5', '⭐⭐️⭐⭐⭐️', "Experience was excellent"),
];
$sections = [new Section('Stars', $rows)];
$action = new Action('Submit', $sections);
$whatsapp_cloud_api->sendList(
'<destination-phone-number>',
'Rate your experience',
'Please consider rating your shopping experience in our website',
'Thanks for your time',
$action
);
Media messages accept as identifiers an Internet URL pointing to a public resource (image, video, audio, etc.). When you try to send a media message from a URL you must instantiate the LinkID
object.
You can also upload your media resources to WhatsApp servers and you will receive a resource identifier:
$response = $whatsapp_cloud_api->uploadMedia('my-image.png');
$media_id = new MediaObjectID($response->decodedBody()['id']);
$whatsapp_cloud_api->sendImage('<destination-phone-number>', $media_id);
To download a media resource:
$response = $whatsapp_cloud_api->downloadMedia('<media-id>');
WhatsAppCloudApi instance returns a Response class or a ResponseException if WhatsApp servers return an error.
try {
$response = $this->whatsapp_app_cloud_api->sendTextMessage(
'<destination-phone-number>,
'Hey there! I\'m using WhatsApp Cloud API. Visit https://www.netflie.es',
true
);
} catch (\Netflie\WhatsAppCloudApi\Response\ResponseException $e) {
print_r($e->response()); // You can still check the Response returned from Meta servers
}
Add your webhook in your Meta App dashboard. You need to verify your webhook:
<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Netflie\WhatsAppCloudApi\WebHook;
// Instantiate the WhatsAppCloudApi super class.
$webhook = new WebHook();
echo $webhook->verify($_GET, "<the-verify-token-defined-in-your-app-dashboard>");
Webhook is now verified, you will start receiving notifications every time your customers send messages.
<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
define('STDOUT', fopen('php://stdout', 'w'));
use Netflie\WhatsAppCloudApi\WebHook;
$payload = file_get_contents('php://input');
fwrite(STDOUT, print_r($payload, true) . "\n");
// Instantiate the Webhook super class.
$webhook = new WebHook();
fwrite(STDOUT, print_r($webhook->read(json_decode($payload, true)), true) . "\n");
The Webhook::read
function will return a Notification
instance. Please, explore the different notifications availables.
When you receive an incoming message from Webhooks, you can mark the message as read by changing its status to read. Messages marked as read display two blue check marks alongside their timestamp.
Marking a message as read will also mark earlier messages in the conversation as read.
<?php
$whatsapp_cloud_api->markMessageAsRead('<message-id>');
