Is it possible to send automatic whatsapp messages without using the twilio plugin?

Hello, i don´t have too much experience programming, and i´m developing a web app. I need to notify users of the app when an event occurs, my app it is a web app (doesn´t help notifications on browser), I want to use the option for them to be notified by whatsapp. I’m testing the Twilio plugin, but it costs me for each message. Is there a way to integrate whatsapp to my application without having to pay for each message sent? (without having to open the external web of web.whatsapp.com)

thanks for your help

You can set an action to open a page and send a text dynamically to this address https//wa.me

Just complete it with the telephone number you want (replace the 1234567890 with the actual phone number with country and city code) and the text message you want:

https://wa.me/1234567890?text=Hello

Replace the number and text above dynamically and you can send text messages to any whatsapp phone number
