To solve question 2: Buy a prepaid SIM card and activate that number in WA Business. Made Whatsapp Homey Device with WA Business. Then create group with prepaid number and your own number and post messages in that group. You will then receive notifications. ---

Hello Martijn, I do run on v1.12.11, but it only accepts my own telephone number. Is it possible to send messages to others? Another question, how can I fetch the link of a group? I cannot find it anywhere in WhatsApp. ---

@Victor_Bicknese of course you can send to other numbers. 🙂 You can get the link of the group IF you’re admin of the group: ![afbeelding](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/d/ddc5a82fb2a2e09a23ef09a1dd92f8d0c01d0916.png) Use `invite to group via link`. And that’s the link you paste in your recipient input field in Homey. ---

Top, the group works! But all individual Dutch numbers I tested, except for my own dit fail with an error “Invalid mobile number OR Invalid group invite link” I have the test version installed, but that didn’t work either.
