# Forward message

If you need to forward an already existing WhatsApp message via API, you can use the **Forward Message** endpoint. This method allows you to resend a message by referencing its `messageId` and specifying the target chat where it should be delivered.

Endpoint:

**POST** *<https://gate.whapi.cloud/messages/{MessageID}>*

#### Required parameters

* **messageId** - the ID of the original message you want to forward.
* **to** - the recipient’s number or chat ID (in international format without +).

#### Example request

```bash
curl --request POST \
     --url https://gate.whapi.cloud/messages/PrDFI1LJsd8pqRo-gpcBq5168hKMvQ \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'authorization: Bearer {Your_Token}' \
     --header 'content-type: application/json' \
     --data '{
       "to": "919984351847",
       "force": true
     }'

```

Once executed, the API will forward the specified message to the defined recipient.

You don't need to set up a webhook for this action, just make sure that this ID actually exists.
