WhatsApp Business + Foldr Integration
The WhatsApp Business Platform lets companies send template and session messages at scale. Use it with Foldr to share hosted receipts, catalogs, and large media that exceed WhatsApp's own file-size limits.
How to Connect WhatsApp Business to Foldr
Generate a Foldr API key
Sign in at foldr.space and create an API key at foldr.space/developers.
Authenticate with WhatsApp Business
Generate or locate your WhatsApp Business API credentials per WhatsApp Business's documentation.
Wire the two APIs together
Write a small script or serverless function that calls WhatsApp Business, processes the result, and POSTs to https://foldr.space/api/v1/files (or /links for short links).
Deploy + schedule
Run the script on-demand, via a cron job, or trigger it from a webhook — the Foldr REST API has no client-library lock-in.

Is there an official Foldr app for WhatsApp Business?
