Overview
This node integrates with the TimelinesAI API to send WhatsApp messages to specified phone numbers. It is designed for automating message delivery workflows where sending text messages via WhatsApp is required, such as customer notifications, alerts, or marketing campaigns.
A typical use case would be sending a personalized message from a business phone number to a customer's phone number automatically when triggered by an event in n8n.

Output
The node sends a POST request to the TimelinesAI API endpoint /messages with the provided phone numbers and message text. The output JSON will contain the response from the TimelinesAI API, typically including details about the message status, ID, timestamps, or any error information if the message failed to send.
No binary data output is involved.
