Solved How to send whatsapp message without opening app

Hello,

Been a big fan of join and now looking to automate some more stuff. I'm hoping to learn how to use Tasker to replicate a behavior I really like on Join!

I noticed that if you want to reply to a whatsapp message, you don't need to open the app to send a whatsapp message to a specific person. Is this something that I can replicate via tasker so I can use it to automatically send a specific message to someone without needing to open the app at all?

I've seen some where you can set a message and then choose which contact to "forward" the message to, but I'm more interested in learning how to send the message to someone directly already without needing to open the whatsapp app to even select the recipient.

Thanks!
Charles
