# Send Messages

You can send supported message types to your customers, currently Whatsapp Business API supports the following message types:

1. Text Messages
2. Reaction Messages
3. Media Messages
4. Contact Messages
5. Interactive Messages
6. Template Messages
7. Reply Messages

Messages are identified by a unique ID (**WAMID**). You can track message status in Webhooks through its **WAMID,** save your message ID in your database to track message status in your webhook.

Sample sent message request using `Curl`

```
curl -X POST --location 'https://wa-api.neuapix.com/whatsapp/v3/{{Channel-ID}}/messages' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer {{place your token here}}' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
    "messaging_product": "whatsapp",
    "recipient_type": "individual",
    "to": "{{Receipient-Phone-Number}}",
    "type": "text",
    "text":{
        "body":"hai"
    }
}'
```

Successful response returns **`WAMID`**:

```json
{
    "messages": [
        {
            "id": "wamid.HBgNNjI4MTM4MTQ3NTE1ORUCABEYEjFBNzU2QTJGQzJFQzQ1N0QwMAA="
        }
    ]
}
```
