Send a WhatsApp notification to the account owner's own phone. `text` is the message (1-1024 chars). `image_url` (optional) is a public https image link — a screenshot, chart or diff — delivered as an image with `text` as the caption when the user's 24h window is open (otherwise text only).

Returns the messages and a new cursor.
