How to call a whatsapp chat here?

I want to call a WhatsApp Chat in the ->actions() function with the data and clients I chose in my select. Is this somehow possible?

Action::make('send_whatsapp')
  ->label('Open Chat')
  ->icon('heroicon-o-chat-bubble-oval-left-ellipsis')
  ->form([
      Select::make('clients')
          ->required()
          ->multiple()
          ->maxItems(10)
          ->exists(Client::class, 'id')
          ->preload()
          ->options(fn () => Client::select(DB::raw("CONCAT(firstname, ' ', lastname) AS full_name"), 'id')
              ->pluck('full_name', 'id')
              ->toArray())
          ->searchable()
          ->visible(fn (Whatsapp $whatsapp): bool => auth()->user()->can('update', $whatsapp)),
  ])
  ->action(function (Whatsapp $whatsapp, array $data) {
      //here should be the action to open the whatsapp chat
  }),

Action::make('send_whatsapp')
  ->label('Open Chat')
  ->icon('heroicon-o-chat-bubble-oval-left-ellipsis')
  ->form([
      Select::make('clients')
          ->required()
          ->multiple()
          ->maxItems(10)
          ->exists(Client::class, 'id')
          ->preload()
          ->options(fn () => Client::select(DB::raw("CONCAT(firstname, ' ', lastname) AS full_name"), 'id')
              ->pluck('full_name', 'id')
              ->toArray())
          ->searchable()
          ->visible(fn (Whatsapp $whatsapp): bool => auth()->user()->can('update', $whatsapp)),
  ])
  ->action(function (Whatsapp $whatsapp, array $data) {
      //here should be the action to open the whatsapp chat
  }),

This is from the Docs Create your own link with a pre-filled message The pre-filled message will automatically appear in the text field of a chat. Use https://wa.me/whatsappphonenumber?text=urlencodedtext where whatsappphonenumber is a full phone number in international format and urlencodedtext is the URL-encoded pre-filled message. Example: https://wa.me/1XXXXXXXXXX?text=I'm%20interested%20in%20your%20car%20for%20sale To create a link with just a pre-filled message, use https://wa.me/?text=urlencodedtext Example: https://wa.me/?text=I'm%20inquiring%20about%20the%20apartment%20listing After clicking on the link, you’ll be shown a list of contacts you can send your message to.

wa.me is a link. You could open a new browser tab, but I think your select shouldn't be multiple

thanks for your answer! But I want to send the message to different users, so I need a multiple select

LeandroFerreira•7mo ago

wa.me is simply a link to initiate a conversation on WhatsApp. I think you're looking to integrate WhatsApp messaging via API and this would be a different approach..

ok thank you so much I will look into it

If you need to send a message to multiple users you should look into the WhatsApp Message API
