Send a WhatsApp interactive LIST message (Whapi.Cloud)

Sends an interactive LIST message via Whapi. Sections/rows are validated by whapi_validate_list_sections(). The payload reuses whapi_common_blocks() to keep structure consistent across interactive message types.

Usage

whapi_send_list(
  to,
  body_text,
  list_sections,
  list_label = "Choose...",
  header_text = NULL,
  footer_text = NULL,
  token = Sys.getenv("WHAPI_TOKEN", unset = ""),
  timeout = 30,
  verbose = TRUE
)
