WhatsApp Groups API

Groups are the part of WhatsApp that the official Cloud API simply does not reach. With Wapito a linked number can open a group, invite or remove members, hand out and take back admin rights, rotate the invite link, tighten who may post, and clear the queue of people asking to join — all over plain REST, with a webhook for every membership change so your own database never drifts out of step. Everything below runs on a real linked number, so the ordinary WhatsApp limits on group size and on how fast you may add strangers still apply, and we say so on every page.
