POST

Send single message

Required permission: WhatsApp Chats — Add

One endpoint for text, media, interactive, location, contacts, sticker, and replies (`parent_whatsapp_message_id`). Phone to: digits with country code (no +). Engagive upserts a contact for `to`, persists the outbound message in chat history, then sends via Meta. Response `data` includes Engagive `id` (DB message id), `whatsapp_message_id`, `contact_id`, `status`, and `template_id` (null for non-template).
