Sending messages through WhatsApp with AWS End User Messaging Social
Before sending a message, you must set up your WhatsApp Business Account (WABA), and your user must opt in to receive messages from you. For more information, see Obtain permission.
When a user messages you, a 24-hour timer called a customer service window starts or refreshes. All message types, except for template messages, can only be sent when a customer service window is open between you and the user. Template messages can be sent at any time, as long as the user has opted in to receive messages from you.
For each message that you send or receive, a message status is generated and sent to the
event destination. If your customer has not signed up for WhatsApp, an event is generated
with a message status of fail. You must turn on a message and event destination to receive
the message status.
