Routing a Message

You can either send the notification by providing with the whatapp number of the recipient to the to($whatsapp_number) method like shown in the previous examples or add a routeNotificationForWhatsapp() method in your notifiable model:

Handling Response

You can make use of the notification events to handle the response from Whatsapp. On success, your event listener will receive a Message object with various fields as appropriate to the notification type.

For a complete list of response fields, please refer the Venom Whatsapp API's Message object docs.

On-Demand Notifications

Sometimes you may need to send a notification to someone who is not stored as a "user" of your application. Using the Notification::route method, you may specify ad-hoc notification routing information before sending the notification. For more details, you can check out the on-demand notifications docs.

Sending to Multiple Recipients

Using the notification facade you can send a notification to multiple recipients at once.

If you're sending bulk notifications to multiple users, the Whatsapp API will not allow more than 30 messages per second or so. Consider spreading out notifications over large intervals of 8—12 hours for best results.

Also note that your bot will not be able to send more than 20 messages per minute to the same group.

If you go over the limit, you'll start getting 429 errors. For more details, refer Whatsapp Api FAQ.
