✨ Send WhatsApp Messages in Laravel With Vonage's Native SDK

In your Laravel applications, you may want to contact your users via WhatsApp. Whether it be to send notifications to your users or maybe broadcast sales promotions to potential leads. Being able to send messages directly to your users' phones and communicate with them can be an extremely powerful tool in your arsenal.

However, communicating directly with the WhatsApp API can sometimes be a bit overwhelming. So instead of doing this, we can use Vonage to handle sending the messages and communicating with the WhatsApp API.

Vonage is a cloud communications platform that provides a variety of APIs that allow you to communicate with your users via SMS, Voice, WhatsApp, and more. It provides a convenient way to send WhatsApp messages without having to worry about the underlying complexity of the WhatsApp API. It also has a Laravel package that makes it super easy to integrate into your Laravel application.

In this tutorial, we will look at how you can send WhatsApp messages using Laravel and Vonage.
