  title: WATI WhatsApp Business Contacts Templates API
  description: 'Tenant-scoped REST API for the WATI WhatsApp Business platform. Use this API

    to send WhatsApp template and session messages, manage contacts, fetch

    conversation history, and orchestrate operator assignments. Each WATI

    workspace exposes its own base URL (for example,

    `https://live-mt-server.wati.io/{tenantId}`) and authenticates calls with a

    Bearer access token issued from the WATI dashboard.
