## Before you call it

1. Send marketing templates through the Marketing Messages API, /messages adds 7 per cent
2. Ask a docs page a question with `?ask=` before reading the whole page
3. Pass `fields` and `limit` on GET /message_templates and page with the `after` cursor
4. Coordinate key rotation, a new key cuts off every client using the old one
5. Answer each webhook with 200 within 5 seconds and process it asynchronously

## Connect

```bash
curl -X POST https://waba-v2.360dialog.io/messages -H "D360-API-KEY: $D360_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"messaging_product":"whatsapp","recipient_type":"individual","to":"4915112345678","type":"text","text":{"body":"Hello from 360dialog"}}'
```
