Support direct WhatsApp integration (without Twilio)

I’ve previously discussed this privately, but now at least one competitor already supports it (see this doc), so perhaps is it time?

Their version:

1. Chooses the phone number on their own (although they promise to support custom numbers in the future), so basically the app owner just enables a “WhatApp integration” checkbox and that’s all!

2. Requires an extra request for each message (similar to what CalStudio already does with images, etc.)

3. Solves WhatsApp File/Image Sharing Integration (they state “If your agent can do it inside your app, it can do it in WhatsApp too”)

4. Doesn’t reveal if and how they support a login system (which in CalStudio is required in order to solve Allow to monetize WhatsApp/Email/SMS Integration)

The competitor’s announcement:
