Sending WhatsApp messages using the Twilio API is made possible by integrating PHP with the Twilio Sandbox Channel, which provides a secure and reliable way for businesses to communicate with their customers. The process begins by setting up a local development environment with PHP 7.0 or higher, Composer, and a Twilio account activated with the WhatsApp Sandbox Channel. A project is created under the Programmable SMS dashboard, where users can connect to their sandbox by sending a join space-known to +14155238886. Once connected, users can start sending WhatsApp messages using the provided PHP code, which sets up a connection with the Twilio API and sends a message to a specified phone number. The process is completed by updating the values in the `.env` file with the obtained Twilio SID and Twilio Token and running the application using `php twilioWhatsAppMessaging.php`. This tutorial provides a step-by-step guide for businesses looking to integrate WhatsApp messaging into their applications.
