Send Whatsapp message with root

I'm wondering how some apps manage to send whatsapp messages fully programmatically. I know that it is not possible without root permissions. As I'm not that familiar with programming root enabled android apps, I have no clue how it works. Example apps, that accomplished this are Whatsremote and the SeeBye Scheduler for example. Does anyone of you know how it works?

In particular they send/receive messages without opening whatsapp. So a simple intent that is sent to whatsapp will not work.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that apps like SeeBye Scheduler send Whatsapp messages by inserting values directly into one (or more) of the Whatsapp databases (located in /data/data/com.whatsapp/databases directory).

As said, they require root access for doing that.
