Programmatically Create Groups using the WhatsApp Group API
Creating a WhatsApp group through the API is simple: your system creates the group with a list of participants, WhatsApp sends invitations, and once accepted, your business account is added to the chat.

The what + why
Create groups seamlessly
The process follows a simple flow: create the group → send invitations → participants join → conversation begins. Within minutes, you have a shared WhatsApp chat where everyone involved can coordinate seamlessly.
This is important because group creation is no longer manual or ad hoc - it’s programmatic, repeatable, and scalable. For businesses, that means less time wasted, no need for hacks or workarounds, and a reliable way to make group communication official and manageable at scale.
It also means groups can be created automatically in response to real triggers - a new booking, a new case, or a new project - so teams and clients are connected instantly without relying on someone to remember to set it up.
Instead of each group being a one-off, the process becomes part of the system: predictable, consistent, and linked directly to business workflows. That shift turns WhatsApp groups from an occasional convenience into a dependable part of daily operations, ensuring that conversations start in the right place from the very beginning.
