Big thanks to free CallMeBot service, this adapter allows you to send WhatsApp messages to yourself or other number.

Configuration

Following documentation was copied from callmebot page.

You need to get the API key form the bot before using the API:

• Add the phone number XXXX (get the current one from the CallMeBot page) into your Phone Contacts. (Name it it as you wish.)
• Send this message I allow callmebot to send me messages (in english) to the new contact created (using WhatsApp of course).
• Wait until you receive the message API Activated for your phone number. Your APIKEY is 123123 from the bot. As this is still in beta testing, the activation can take up to 2 minutes.
