WhatsApp has recently announced their plans for their API after a very long beta program (open to enterprise companies only). They will not be working directly with customers but have chosen 20+ partners through which their API will be available (e.g. Twilio).
At the time of building this project this was not yet available. And automating WhatsApp was somewhat of a hassle.
