There is a limitation on how you are send and receive an attachment.
| Image | "png", "jpg", "jpeg", "webp" |
| Video | "mp4" |
| File | "pdf", "doc", "docx", "xls", "xlsx", "csv", "txt" |
| Audio | "mp3" |
| Max size | 10MB |
If you try sending attachment outside this file limitation rules, your API will return false.
For every attachment outside this file limitation rules sent to your device while using fonnte will not be sent to your webhook or forward attachment target.
Before you can send message to whatsapp group, you have to know which group to send.
To get all the group you are in, there are 2 steps to do.
First, update all of your group list.
Then, get all of your groups id list and use them as target.
This API is used to update all of your groups.
This API should called only once : when you are joining new group or never call this API yet.
<?php
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
CURLOPT_URL => 'https://api.fonnte.com/fetch-group',
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_ENCODING => '',
CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 0,
CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true,
CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => 'POST',
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
'Authorization: TOKEN'
),
));
$response = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
echo $response;Read more about API update whatsapp group.
Then you can use API get whatsapp group to get all the group id.
This API will give you a list of all updated whatsapp group as previously updated using API update whatsapp group list.
This API will return nothing if you have never update the whatsapp group
<?php
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
CURLOPT_URL => 'https://api.fonnte.com/get-whatsapp-group',
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_ENCODING => '',
CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 0,
CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true,
CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => 'POST',
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
'Authorization: TOKEN'
),
));
$response = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
echo $response;
You can now get the id and the group name.
The group id will be used as target in the send message API.
The update mainly focused on working on whatsapp group to be able to send and reply plus additional preparation to read and send location with bug fixes
We are now proudly supporting send and reply message to whatsapp group.
But since we are not using whatsapp group so often, we may not knowing of exactly how it work and this feature is still labeled as beta.
If you somehow found a bug, please let us know.
This group is supported on send menu, autoreply menu, API, and webhook.
The video below is how to send message to whatsapp group using fonnte's send menu.
We are adding feature to add via import and supporting export contacts as it's always your data, not ours.
This button available on contact menu
Additional information is added to invoices menu for easier read.
Since not everyone know about fonnte's pricing, we are adding information on order popup
fix variable on button not working
fix country code & timestamp on setting/profile page
fix export webhook message as it is, not lowercased
fix contact list not show up on send menu
fix edit autoreply popup style
preparation : send location
This API will Get all of your whatsapp group which previously updated.
If API update whatsapp group list had never been called, this API will always return false.

When sending a message, you might want to know whether
You can now call the name of the recipient directly using variable {name}.
You can now delete your account and your device if not needed.
You will receive an OTP to confirm you want to delete it.
We are adding more notification to disconnected device while having pending messages and webhook failure.
If you have pending messages and somehow your device disconnected, the messages will be in pending state.
these messages will be sent when your device is connected to fonnte.
So if you have pending messages, we will notify you every 4 hours or you can delete all pending in the message history.
And you will get notification whenever you webhook is unreachable for whatever reason.

A static chatbot is helpful for a questioning user who just want a piece of information.
But for a dynamic information, fonnte's dashboard cannot help you further.
Then, this is where our webhook shine!
You can get all information you need from your own database with webhook.
This tutorial require you to understand basic programing language mainly PHP. If you don't have any experience or don't know what to do, please consider hire a developer.
Special note : any autoreply feature won't work if you are using webhook.
Before you can use this webhook, you need to make an account, login and create a device.
Copy the token as API key to be used on webhook.
Then, connect your device first before you can proceed to send a message.
Please use most recent curl with php version of 7.1++ as requirement.
So making whatsapp chatbot using fonnte's webhook will enable you to use your own database data.
Don't worry, we cannot access your database.
Everyting is coded in your own server.
The only thing we need is your file url.
First, copy this code
<?php
header('Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8');
$json = file_get_contents('php://input');
$data = json_decode($json, true);
$device = $data['device'];
$sender = $data['sender'];
$message = $data['message'];
$member= $data['member']; //group member who send the message
$name = $data['name'];
$location = $data['location'];
//data below will only received by device with all feature package
//start
$url = $data['url'];
$filename = $data['filename'];
$extension= $data['extension'];

sendFonnte($sender, $reply);Function sendFonnte can use any API parameter available on fonnte's API.
You can get the data from database and set as reply message.
Second, save this code and input the file absolute public url to the webhook input.
Example : https://fonnte.com/urlwebhook.php
It's located in menu device->edit.
The last and the most important part is to set autoread to on.
It's located below webhook input.
That's all, your whatsapp bot is now ready to reply with dynamic data.
In a business process, making a customer wait means possible leads are missing.
Sometime the customer just want to know about FAQ and they are too lazy to read on the web.
It's more convenient to ask than to read.
So, making a whatsapp chat bot is vital for your business.
Fonnte provide a way to create whatsapp bot easily.
Every device can be set to be a chatbot.
You need to set autoread to on on device menu->edit.
Fonnte provide a menu to create this bot.
You can access this menu by login to fonnte.
Go to autoreply menu, then you'll see this form
You can make several incoming chat terms on message field.
The response can be just a text, text with file or an interactive buttons.
That's all!
Learn more about this autoreply and button.
With this feature, you can make a static chatbot.
The best usage for this feature is to serve static information like FAQ.
If somehow you want to make a more dynamic whatsapp bot, you can use our other feature, it's called webhook.
We will cover how to create dynamic whatsapp bot in the next tutorial.
Sending whatsapp programatically is hard back then.
Send invoice, notification, confirmation, etc mostly send through email.
As for today, send whatsapp message is possible through API.
Fonnte provide super easy API to send whatsapp message via API.
In this tutorial you will learn how.
This tutorial require you to understand basic programing language mainly PHP. If you don't have any experience or don't know what to do, please consider hire a developer.
Before you can use this API, you need to make an account, login and create a device.
Copy the token as API key to be used on API.
Then, connect your device first before you can proceed to send a message.
Please use most recent curl with php version of 7.1++ as requirement.
Full API reference can be found in the docs and postman.
Target is the number or whatsapp group id who'll receive the message you sent.
If the target is personal, you can just set their whatsapp number as target
If the target is whatsapp group, you have to know the whatsapp group's id.
See tutorial for getting whatsapp group id.
For using fonnte's API, just copy the code below.
Make a file, for example, send.php in your environment (localhost using xampp for example).
Then paste this code.
<?php
$curl = curl_init();

}
echo $response;Don't forget to change the target and token and then just run the file in browser.
Then, you're good to go, the message is sent to your target number.

You can send to individual number or whatsapp group by setting the value to the target parameter.
for whatsapp group, you need to get the group id first.
you will need to initialize fetch all the group your whatsapp joined using fetch group.
use fetch only when your whatsapp :
do not overuse it, you might get banned for using it repeatedly.
only after you successfully fetch, you can use get group.
you can use it as you wish, as it's already fetched and does not interact with whatsapp server.
then you will get the whatsapp group id like : 120363379743282885@g.us and this id is used as value on target.

If you really want to send bulk messages, DO NOT USE LOOP!
Unless you want to send multiple url, you are welcome to use loop.
Then how to send bulk messages without loop?
Don't worry, we got your back.
Just use comma separated for each target.
Example : 081xxxxx,082xxxxx.
Here's the code
<?php
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
CURLOPT_URL => 'https://api.fonnte.com/send',
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_ENCODING => '',
CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 0,
CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true,
CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => 'POST',
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => array(
'target' => '08123456789,08987654321',
'message' => 'test message',
'delay' => '2',
'countryCode' => '62', //optional
),
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
'Authorization: TOKEN' //change TOKEN to your actual token
),
));
$response = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
echo $response;You just need to separate each target with comma.
Set 'delay' is highly recommended, it's in second.
In the example above the message will be sent to 628123456789 immediately then wait 2 seconds before send to 628987654321.
you can now use new parameter : data.
parameter data allows you to merge multiple requests as one request.
you can use almost all available parameter.
this way drastically reduce the need of variable and you can define each message on your own.
let's just code it.
<?php
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
CURLOPT_URL => 'https://api.fonnte.com/send',
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_ENCODING => '',
CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,

CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => 'POST',
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => array('data' => '[{"target": "082227097005", "message": "1","delay":"1"},{"target": "082227097005,082227097005", "message": "2","delay":"2"},{"target": "082227097005", "message": "3","delay":"0"}]'
),
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
'Authorization: TOKEN' //change TOKEN to your actual token
),
));
$response = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
echo $response;the code above will send message 1 immediately -> wait 2 seconds -> send message 2 -> wait 2 seconds -> send message 2 -> send message 3

];
//send message
Kirimfonnte($token, $data);
The message can also be sent in a scheduled time.
Pass the parameter 'schedule' with value of unix timestamp down to second, not to milisecond.
For example : 1667433600 for November 3rd, 2022 12:00:00 AM (GMT +0)
In indonesian time, the time above will run on :
So this is the code
<?php

So after successfully send message, There is another wish.
"i want to send this message personally".
Well, ofcourse it's possible!
First option is not using fonnte's API feature (not recommended).
You are making n request to fonnte.
Even fonnte does not have problem with it, we have a better solution!
Second option is using fonnte's API feature (highly recommended).
To send dynamic messages, you can use variables.
To use it, you need to set the variables on 'target', and use the variable on 'message'
Here's the code
<?php
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
CURLOPT_URL => 'https://api.fonnte.com/send',
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_ENCODING => '',
CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 0,
CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true,
CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => 'POST',
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => array(
'target' => '08123456789|Fonnte|Admin,08987654321|Lily|Client',
'message' => 'test message to {name} as {var1}',
'delay' => '2',
'countryCode' => '62', //optional
),
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
'Authorization: TOKEN' //change TOKEN to your actual token
),
));
$response = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
echo $response;That code will send message to with 2 seconds delay for each message
Separate each variable with pipe (|).
The first variable will using {name} and the rest is using {var1},{var2},...
This is great! you can send personalized messages with one go.
How much can i make the variable? as much as you need, ofcourse!
You can learn more about it on about variable page.
note : this parameter only available on super/advanced/ultra plan.
Can i add message with attachment like image? or video? file like pdf, excel, docs? and audio?
Yes you can!

</html>The next 3 message types is used for interactive purpose. (deprecated)
This feature has been deprecated and no longer maintained
What is button message?
That's button message.
It's more interactive than wishing user to respond in a text.
To send this message, you will need to make a multidimensional array, then just encode it to be a json.
Note : max 3 buttons
here's the code
<?php
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
CURLOPT_URL => 'https://api.fonnte.com/send',
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_ENCODING => '',
CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 0,
CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true,
CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => 'POST',
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => array(
'target' => '08123456789',
'url' => 'https://md.fonnte.com/images/logo-dashboard.png',
'buttonJSON' => '{"message":"fonnte button message","footer":"fonnte footer message","buttons":[{"id":"mybutton1","message":"hello fonnte"},{"id":"mybutton2","message":"fonnte pricing"},{"id":"mybutton3","message":"tutorial fonnte"}]}',
'countryCode' => '62', //optional
),
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
'Authorization: TOKEN' //change TOKEN to your actual token
),
));
$response = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
echo $response;You can add url ofcourse, but it's limited to image and video only.
This feature has been deprecated and no longer maintained
Template button is much more interactive than just button message.
Sadly, our API's can not send this type to IOS yet.
This message type support call and link.
The other one is just regular button.
Note : max 3 buttons
So how to send it?
Here's the code
<?php
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
CURLOPT_URL => 'https://api.fonnte.com/send',
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_ENCODING => '',
CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 0,
CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true,
CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => 'POST',
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => array(
'target' => '08123456789',
'templateJSON' => '{"message":"fonnte template message","footer":"fonnte footer message","buttons":[{"message":"fonnte","url":"https://fonnte.com"},{"message":"call me","tel":"6282227097005"},{"id":"mybutton1","message":"hello fonnte"}]}',
'countryCode' => '62', //optional
),
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
'Authorization: TOKEN' //change TOKEN to your actual token
),
));
$response = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
echo $response;Template is not supporting any media yet.
So you can only send plain text with it.
This feature has been deprecated and no longer maintained
List message is another message type which allow you to create many buttons, not just 3.
And when you click button, this popup appear.
This is great! you can give your user many choices.
And even better, it has group and description for easier understanding of choice.
Here's the code
<?php
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
CURLOPT_URL => 'https://api.fonnte.com/send',
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_ENCODING => '',
CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 0,
CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true,
CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => 'POST',
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => array(
'target' => '08123456789',
'listJSON' => '{"message":"fonnte list message","footer":"fonnte footer message","buttonTitle":"fonnte's packages","title":"fonnte title","buttons":[{"title":"text only","list":[{"message":"regular","footer":"10k messsages/month","id":"list-1"},{"message":"regular pro","footer":"25k messsages/month","id":"list-2"},{"message":"master","footer":"unlimited messsages/month","id":"list-3"}]},{"title":"all feature","list":[{"message":"super","footer":"10k messsages/month","id":"list-4"},{"message":"advanced","footer":"25k messsages/month","id":"list-5"},{"message":"ultra","footer":"unlimited messsages/month","id":"list-6"}]}]}',
'countryCode' => '62', //optional
),
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
'Authorization: TOKEN' //change TOKEN to your actual token
),
));
$response = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
echo $response;With this, you can send list message and waiting for a reply.
Location can be send using latitude and longitude.
the format should be latitude,longitude.
<?php
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
CURLOPT_URL => 'https://api.fonnte.com/send',
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_ENCODING => '',

),
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(

),
));
$response = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
echo $response;You can change the location value with your desired location.
You can send whatsapp poll message to your recipients.
The poll may be sent to group or individual.

$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(

CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
'Authorization: TOKEN'
),
));
$response = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
echo $response;You can change the data to your personal needs.
You can send whatsapp as a follow up on your own application.
It's even easier since fonnte provide API for it.
Actually this follow up is similar to schedule feature.
The differences is :
The main purpose is this follow up enable you to follow up after any action, most likely on form submit.
So instead of schedule it, just add time for it.
<?php
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(

CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
'Authorization: TOKEN'
),
));
$response = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
echo $response;This code will send the message 1 minutes after requested to fonnte.
you can change the behaviour of sending message as a sequence.
this means, the order of messages matters.
it's as simple as adding 'sequence' => true.
this parameter works both on data or target.

Fonnte provide many configuration to make the API as flexible as possible.
If you are not a programmer or confuse how to do it, you can hire a programmer or just use fonnte's dashboard to send whatsapp message.
We have cover all this way to send message in our dashboard.
In the end, it's not only meant for sending, you can also reply the message.
We'll cover in autoreply tutorial on how to create a whatsapp chat bot.
The update is mainly focused on button ui and add several mini features and ofcourse, bug fixes.
You can now make button with fonnte's dashboard.
It's reusable and one time.
You can use this button for sending message or creating an autoreply.
Your whatsapp message will be much more engaging!
Learn how to create this button.
You can now order a package by whatsapp. you are no longer needed to login just to order!
See how to order on the video below.
We add an API to check how much messages an account have been requested to fonnte.
you can see here.
We also add total messages requested on each device on device profile API.
