WhatsApp Community API

No number migration — use any WhatsApp you already have.

Get started in 3 steps

Pair your number via QR

Link any personal or Business WhatsApp — like WhatsApp Web. Start in the free sandbox to connect and test.

Send your first API request

Use your token in the sandbox, curl, or Postman. One REST API for messages, groups, channels, and more.

Add webhooks when you need events

Receive messages and WhatsApp events in real time — configure only the events your app uses.

Send announcements to WhatsApp communities using API

Send announcements to Communities

Expand your communication capabilities! Automatically send announcement messages (text, photos, videos, stickers and polls) to WhatsApp groups, create events through our Cloud API. It's the perfect tool to send important updates, news or promotional messages to your audience in WhatsApp.

Admins can send different types of announcements to all members of the community. So you can send polls, videos, audio, any text message and expect all members to receive the message.

When a community member replies to an announcement, you will receive a webhook with full details of the message and the participant. You can always delete the message or write to them personally. You can get the information either via HTTP request or as a callback.

Full Community management via API

The API gives you full control over managing your communities and groups in WhatsApp. Create communities, send invitation link, add/remove users, connect and disconnect groups. Get a list of participants and messages in the community.

You will be able to add a user to the community and to a specific group. If WhatsApp prevents you from adding a member automatically, you will be able to send an invitation in a private chat. You will also be able to remove a member from the community.

You will be able to add existing groups to the community or create new groups and add them. Similarly, you will be able to unlink groups from communities and delete them. At the same time, you will have access to information about the groups: description, picture and member numbers.

WhatsApp API Grouping Messages and Management

Automate Groups & Communities

Automate WhatsApp groups from your backend — post messages, read group chats, add or remove participants, and manage admins without opening the app. Export member phone numbers for CRM sync and onboard users at scale. When you outgrow a single group, run Communities with linked sub-groups — same REST API for both. Groups API guide →

Post text, media, or interactive messages to groups and read incoming chats — including announcement-style groups.

Add or remove participants, change admins, create invite links, and export member numbers.

Run Communities with linked groups. Send announcements, moderate sub-groups, manage events, and organize members programmatically.

Member joins, new messages, and other group changes via webhooks.

How to use Community in Whatsapp?

WhatsApp Communities allow you to organize and link related groups together in one unified structure. Unlike traditional chats, where everyone shares the same space, communities let you create a central hub with multiple focused group discussions. This is perfect for schools, neighborhoods, clubs, or non-profits, offering more organization and control. With Communities, you can streamline communication, making it easier to manage and engage with large groups.

Centralized announcement board for all groups.

Invite participants to the community, not each group.

Manage multiple groups under one umbrella.

Reduce clutter by avoiding oversized groups.
