let phone_number_id = "<phone_number_id>";
let to = "<to>";
let template_name = "hello_world";
let language = "en_US";
let template = Template::new(template_name, language);
let message = Message::from_template(&to, template, None);
let client = WhatsappClient::new(&access_token, &phone_number_id);
client.send_message(&message).await?;

Send template based text message with parameters

let access_token = "<access_token>";
let phone_number_id = "<phone_number_id>";
let template_name = "sample_shipping_confirmation";
let language = "en_US";
let parameters = Vec::from([Parameter::from_text("3")]);
let components = Vec::from([Component::with_parameters("body", parameters)]);
let template = Template::with_components(template_name, language, components);
let message = Message::from_template(&to, template, None);
let client = WhatsappClient::new(&access_token, &phone_number_id);
let response = client.send_message(&message).await?;

Send text message (Note: This requires an user initial conversation)

let access_token = "<access_token>";
let phone_number_id = "<phone_number_id>";
let to = "<to>";
let text = Text::new("test message");
let message = Message::from_text(&to, text, None);
let client = WhatsappClient::new(&access_token, &phone_number_id);
client.send_message(&message).await?;
