Chat Simulator
The Chat Simulator lets you send test messages directly from the browser without writing any code. You can:
- Send text, image, video, audio, document, location, and interactive messages
- Select which phone number to send from (if you have multiple)
- See the API response in real-time
- View the exact JSON payload that was sent
This is the fastest way to verify your account is working before integrating with your application.
Inbox
The Inbox tab displays all incoming messages received on your WhatsApp numbers. Features include:
- Chat-style conversation view grouped by sender
- Unread message indicators and counts
- Filter by phone number, message type, or date range
- Mark messages and conversations as read
- View full message details including media content
Status Tracking
The Status tab shows the delivery status of all outbound messages you have sent. For each message, you can see:
- Current status (pending, sent, delivered, read, or failed)
- Complete status history with timestamps
- Message type and recipient
- Error details for failed messages
Statuses are updated in real-time as WhatsApp sends delivery receipts.
Phone Numbers
The Phone Numbers tab displays all WhatsApp numbers assigned to your account, including:
- Phone Number ID (used in API requests)
- Display name
- Which number is set as the default
