How can I add an image parameter in the WhatsApp API URL

Question

Basically I want to send an image and some texts to WhatsApp from my website when the user clicks on the chat with WhatsApp icon

So I want to redirect users from my website to my WhatsApp chat! I know we can add a text parameter to the WhatsApp API URL like this:

https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=123456789&text=this is a test

But the fact is I want to add like an image parameter with the text parameter in the URL, for ex like this:

https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=123456789&text=this is a test&img=[my-image]

Answer 1

In my experience you can't do that with the normal whatsapp api. You can either send a text or an image using the text parameter following this link structure:

https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=<phone_number>&text=<message>

Phone_number - is the phone number with country code Text - will be either rough text or an image link text.

Depending on the image name you may need to url_encode the image before adding it to your link.

source_url but your text won't show (it's the text or the image)
