Text Message

You can have the WhatsApp client attempt to render a preview of the first URL in the body text string, if it contains one. URLs must begin with http:// or https://. If multiple URLs are in the body text string, only the first URL will be rendered.

If omitted, or if unable to retrieve a link preview, a clickable link will be rendered instead.
