Title: [LAMW] How to send a Whatsapp message
Post by: pasquale on January 20, 2021, 02:08:46 pm: Hello,

Is it possible to send a Whatsapp message using LAMW?

Specifically, I have an editbox with some text inside and a button below. When I click on the button, I would like Whatsapp to open up in order for me to select the addressee and send him or her the same text message.

TIA

Having to press the Whatsapp send button is not a problem at all.

I don't know what a "WhatsApp package name" is and how to specify that in the code. Do you know where I can find some sample code?

Thanks

You can mimic these solutions in LAMW
(There are many "IntentManager" in LAMW "demos" folder...)
