问题
I have to send messages to the customer's whatsapp number programatically.
What are the pre requirements/needs?
Do I need to convert/register my personal number to business account?
Is there any API provided by whatsapp for this?

Not necessarily, it's your choice if you want to share your personal account, even though you recommend using a business account
Is there any API provided by whatsapp for this?
According to Whatsapp's own documentation, they do not have a direct API, but you can create a link to send the messages, according to the documentation, follow the submission parameter by the URL: https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=
Here's another example:
Use: https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=15551234567
Don't use: https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=+001-(555)1234567

You need to register a phone number as business account, after registration, you cannot use whatsapp app with the same number on your device. So it's better to register business account with another number rather than your personal number
Is there any API provided by whatsapp for this?
