# WhatsApp: Send and receive WhatsApp messages.

Connect your WhatsApp Business number. Send templates, media, and replies through the same API.

- Customer support
- Order updates
- Documents and images

## Templates

Open a conversation with an approved template. Reply free-form inside the 24-hour window.

## Media

Send images and documents with the same call.

## Replies

Incoming messages and read receipts reach your webhook.

## Example

```typescript
const { data, error } = await retransmit.whatsapp.send({
  to: "+237670000000",
  type: "text",
  text: "Of course. How can we help?",
});
```

Text replies need an open 24-hour service window.
