WhatsApp Bulk Messaging Application

This Python application allows you to send a template message to multiple WhatsApp chats without requiring the recipients to save your number.

Problem Statement

Features

• Send a template message to multiple recipients.
• No need for recipients to save the sender's number.
• Streamlined messaging for businesses with large client bases.
