How to create a group and send a message to it#

IMPORTANT

If one tries to create a group with a non-existent number, WhatsApp may block the sender's number. The number in the example is non-existent.

create_group_response = greenAPI.groups.createGroup(
    "Group Name", ["11001234567@c.us"]
)
if create_group_response.code == 200:
    send_message_response = greenAPI.sending.sendMessage(
        create_group_response.data["chatId"], "Message text"
    )
