Answer

You can send test messages with the Messages API Sandbox without having to complete the verification process for certain business accounts. You can start coding your application right away, even while you wait for your business accounts to be created and approved. Your sandbox account can only be associated with one API key and supports the following channels:

• WhatsApp
• Viber
• Facebook Messenger

If you’re done testing or ready to begin registering channels on the Messages API, see the channel-specific articles below.
