If you are using the WhatsApp API then you need to send the message from a WhatsApp number. WhatsApp numbers are prefixed with whatsapp: too.

Check out the WhatsApp sandbox in the Twilio console and try again with the WhatsApp sandbox number.

Let me know how you get on.

Thank you so much for your reply. I already tried that in my terminal but then I get the error:

Twilio could not find a Channel with the specified From address

I am also providing the authorization token and accountSid.

Can you share the code you're using? My DEV connect chat is open if you want to share that privately or in more real time.
