FreshchatWhatsapp

Welcome to your new gem! In this directory, you'll find the files you need to be able to package up your Ruby library into a gem. Put your Ruby code in the file lib/freshchat_whatsapp. To experiment with that code, run bin/console for an interactive prompt.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'freshchat_whatsapp'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install freshchat_whatsapp

Configuration

Before you can send messages there's some Configuration to be done. Set the base path, api_key

 FreshchatWhatsapp.configure do |config|
   config.base_path = "https://example.freshchat.com"
   config.api_key = "api_key"
 end

Create an instance of the API client, which is going to be used from now on to interact with whatsapp

fresh_chat = FreshchatWhatsapp::Api.new

Send HSM (templated) messages

so freshchat use to give facility to design your template so what ever params you are asking to send into the template you have to prepare as this part is total dynamic by the given method

this is example template generated you have you change according to your template

def generate_rich_template_data(url, name)
  {
    'rich_template_data' => {
      'button' => {
        'subType' => 'url',
        'params' => [
          {
            'data' => url
          }
        ]
      },
      'body' => {
        'params' => [
          {
            'data' => name
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  }
end

prepare params , if we talk about url freshchat will not allow to send you full url you can just sent the part dynamic part.

params = generate_rich_template_data('/example/13213', 'MR JACK')
