Is it possible to send a WhatsApp message using the click to chat technique without clicking on sent the "send" button?
Here is the link https://wa.me/phonenumber?text=testing or https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=phonenumber&text=testing or whatsapp://send?phone=phonenumber&text=testing
Suppose I have a desktop app that open HTTP URLs to upload or download data from web server. Can I open the above URLs say https://wa.me/phonenumber?text=testing probably with extra url parameters to send a whatsapp message directly? Because this won't open the url on a browser to give you those controls for sending a whatsapp message over web.Here is the page that you get redirected to

you can use the parameter below to open in silent mode app_absent=1
chromiumWebBrowser1.LoadUrl("https://web.whatsapp.com/send/?phone="+textBox1.Text +"&text=Welcome&app_absent=1");

use below link (only for mobile) whatsapp://send?text=your_message&phone=123456789
For desktop you can use https://web.whatsapp.com/send?text=your_message&phone=123456789
you can also use javascript to check whether mobile or desktop
var ua = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
var isMobile = ua.indexOf("mobile") > -1;
if (isMobile) {
window.location.href = "whatsapp://send?text=your_message&phone=123456789;
} else {
window.open("https://web.whatsapp.com/send?text=your_message&phone=123456789", "Share with Whatsapp Web", 'width=800,height=600');
}
