Send a message
WhatsApp business messaging is template-first: you start a conversation by sending an approved
message template, and then you exchange free-form messages within the open conversation window.
You send WhatsApp messages with the SendWhatsAppMessage operation in the AWS End User Messaging
Social Messaging API (the social-messaging namespace).
