After your WhatsApp number is connected, you can send messages through integrations (API, n8n, Manager) and review traffic in the portal.
View message history in the portal
- Open WhatsApp in the tenant portal.
- Go to the Messages tab.
- Browse recent messages stored by your workspace.
Use this view to confirm delivery, debug customer conversations, or audit automated sends.
Send your first message (conceptual flow)
- •
Confirm connection
In Aysali Manager, verify the instance is connected. See Connect your number.
- •
Copy credentials
On the Status tab, copy API URL and API key.
- •
Send via API or tool
Use Aysali Manager’s test tools, n8n HTTP node, or your application to call the send-message endpoint with the instance name and recipient number.
- •
Verify
Check the Messages tab or the recipient’s WhatsApp app.
Receive messages
Incoming WhatsApp messages are available through:
- Messages tab in the portal (historical view)
- Webhooks — Real-time HTTP callbacks to your server or automation (see Webhooks overview)
- API — Fetch chats and messages via reference endpoints
For automation (auto-replies, CRM sync), webhooks or n8n are the usual approach.
Message types supported
Your workspace supports text, media, location, contacts, reactions, polls, and more. See the full matrix on Capabilities.
Tips
- Always send to numbers in international format (country code + number, no leading zero).
- Use one instance name consistently in API calls.
- Rate limits and WhatsApp policy still apply — avoid bulk spam; use opt-in lists for marketing.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | What to try |
|---|---|
| Message not delivered | Check instance connection; verify recipient has WhatsApp |
| 401 / unauthorized | Regenerate or re-copy API key; check Authorization header |
| Message sent but not in portal | Allow sync time; check Logs tab for errors |
| Media fails | Confirm media URL is public HTTPS; check file size limits |
