I was wondering if it is possible to integrate an application made in C# with Whatsapp?

If you are trying to use, or already use some API, stop, this is CRIME!
There is no official API to send or receive Whatsapp message to no language, at least until the present moment of that reply.
You even can find something that is not official, but the guarantee that will work the first time and stay working is something without response, because Whatsapp work hard to block any third party API.
You can read a little more about the whatsapp policy and clear your doubts.
Just a caveat, a comment from development leader Brian Acton himself at Facebook’s F8 conference, translated:
...we have no plans to open Whatsapp at this time... We do not want to bother our users with messages they do not want to receive1...
For this comment it is very likely that you do not have an API available for a long time.
Addendum
As stated in the comment itself, it is possible to see that there is no possibility (so far) of a constant functioning API:
After Whatsapp implemented end-to-end encryption, the "third-party" Apis stopped working. You should also check that if you send too many messages in a short time Whatsapp will block as SPAM.
And in the own website of the terms of use, translated is written:

I get it, so if we want something similar, I’ll have to go to Telegram, but the problem is the use of it, much less than the what’s app.

Before you could give an Index in the table
msgstore.dbstatus-oriented-1, now the message gets encrypted in the table called_jobqueue-WhatsAppJobManager, you can do something in Whats (I made a bot through thewhatsweb, and manipulates the tables via adb). Sending is time consuming to send 10k of people takes about 5 hours with 1 smarthphone (so far not blocked as SPAM)..– Marco Giovanni
There are companies specialized in this type only give a google search as
Whatsapp marketing, but ends up being more expensive than texting.. with reports of sent, delivered and read... I won’t send the links here, otherwise they’ll think I’m advertising kkk– Marco Giovanni
@Marcogiovanni, the reason why Whats is so much cheaper than text messages. Imagine texting two to three times a day to over 11,000 customers? It’s financially unfeasible.

In the search that we were doing the value of the shooting of Whats is about 0,12 while for sms is 0,08.. of course if you take a larger package of Whats shipments, you should take more into account anyway.
