I have to send messages to the customer's whatsapp number programatically.

What are the pre requirements/needs?

Do I need to convert/register my personal number to business account?

Is there any API provided by whatsapp for this?

Do I need to convert/register my personal number to business account?

Not necessarily, it's your choice if you want to share your personal account, even though you recommend using a business account

Is there any API provided by whatsapp for this?

According to Whatsapp's own documentation, they do not have a direct API, but you can create a link to send the messages, according to the documentation, follow the submission parameter by the URL: https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=

Here's another example:

Use: https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=15551234567

Don't use: https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=+001-(555)1234567
