How to send WhatsApp Messages from MS Flow
It is very simple to send WhatsApp messages from your MS Flow Automation. You just need to use the HTTP Action
1) Get an APIkey using the instructions described above
2) Add an "HTTP" Action into your MS Flow
3) Complete the HTTP configuration as shown below
What is key in the configuration is to format the "Subscribe URI" properly. The "text" field must be urlencoded and it can be dynamically created to send different messages using MS Flow variables for example.
Format of the URI field:
https://api.callmebot.com/whatsapp.php?phone=<your_phone_number>&text=<text_message_to_send>&apikey=<your_apikey>
