'Whatsapp Click to Chat sending an image instead of text
I want to send an image via the Whatsapp Click to Chat URL. Sending Text is easy.
https://wa.me/?text=LoremIpsum
When I click this link, it opens WhatsApp, and I can select which contact I want to send the message.
Now my question is, if its possible to also send an image through this URL. (maybe with an ?media=https://cdn.example.com/image.jpg parameter). The goal is to send an email to customers and let them click on a link so they can send an image from us to their friends.
Do I need WhatsApp Business for this? Or isn't it possible?
Thanks for any answer.
