Send Whatsapp message to user from website
I have one icon of WhatsApp. When the user clicks on it, It asks for the mobile number. I want to send a text to user's WhatsApp. Is there any way to achieve it?
I have tried WART Whatsapp but it no longer exists.
I have also searched about whatsmate. but it is not providing free test API.
I have also used whatsapp://send?text=text but it is redirecting to WhatsApp web.
I want to send a direct message to a user whenever the user hits the button.
is this possible?

It looks like WhatsApp doesn't provide an API for you to send direct messages, probably so that users can't be spammed with lots of automated messages. I don't think you can do this currently. blog.cloudrail.com/…

I'm quite sure they also want people to use their app, instead of some other services that would use their API.
