-#### Example
+### WhatsApp Support
+If your account is configured to support [WhatsApp for Buisness](https://www.twilio.com/en-us/messaging/channels/whatsapp) you can also use this plugin to notify those endpoints as well.  Simply place a `w:` infront of the outbound phone numbers that should be delivered through WhatsApp instead of the default Twillio configuration: e.g:
+```bash
+# Assuming our {AccountSID} is AC735c307c62944b5a
+# Assuming our {AuthToken} is e29dfbcebf390dee9
+# Assuming our {FromPhoneNo} is +1-900-555-9999
+# Assuming our WhatsApp {PhoneNo} is +1 555 123 3456
+apprise -vv -t "Test Message Title" -b "Test Message Body" \
+   twilio://AC735c307c62944b5a:e29dfbcebf390dee9@19005559999/w:15551233456
+
+# the following would also have worked (spaces, brackets,
+# dashes are accepted in a phone no field):
+apprise -vv -t "Test Message Title" -b "Test Message Body" \
+   twilio://AC735c307c62944b5a:e29dfbcebf390dee9@1-(900) 555-9999/w:+1 555 123 3456
+
+```
+
+You can also place a `w:` infront of your own phone number to switch the default behavior to interpret all of the numbers that follow to be sent to WhatsApp.  For example: `twillio://credentials/w:18005559876/15551234444/15551235555`
+
+In the above example, the target numbers `15551234444` and `15551235555` would have been sent through WhatsApp because the default switch of how to treat the numbers was switched by prefixing the source with `w:` instead.
+
+**Note:** Sources with Short Codes will not work for WhatsApp.
