Can be upgraded for sending messages in Whatsapp groups

Hey, I found this API very interesting, I am a newbie to node.js, but I was wondering if there was a way to send Messages from a saved contact or a Whatsapp Group.
Regards,

Getting message as Sent but message is not sent

I have followed all all things but messages are not been sent. In cmd it is showing message as sent but in real message is not been sent

Cannot Send Messages

I think there is a recent change, worked few days ago, but right now it fails.

Bug is on line 162
await page.waitForSelector(SELECTORS.SEND_BUTTON, { timeout: 5000 });

I think that the Selector value needs to be updated:
SEND_BUTTON: 'div:nth-child(3) > button > span[data-icon="send"]'
this one fails currently

can u please help make it so it wont send messeges to someone im allready have a chat with?

can u please help make it so it won't send messages to someone I already have a chat with?

Seems like it does not work.

I tried this with my electron-vue app. I see QR code in console log but my WhatsApp web can't scan it. Is there a specific way to make this work?

Whatsapp only runs with chrome 60+

Hey,
I am facing the issue that whatsapp tells me to update chrome, but only when I am using a saved session, not when I am newly loggin with a qr code somehow.

here is the .html I extracted (I am using a linux cli)

Question: how to integrate into CI/CD?

Hi there,

How can I save the QR validation?

Cheers and thx

Cron Job with WBM

Why sometimes using node-scheduler with WBM causes memory leaks?

[bug] special character in message

Thank you so much for making this greate tools
I cant sent + in the message!
Any solution?

stopped working

My application runs correct, connects but does not send msg.

In test.js mode it loops, loses the connection after authentication is done and doesn't send the message.

---

Minha aplicação esta rodando corretamente, mas ela conecta e não envia as mensagens;
No modo test.js, o navegador é aberto, autenticado, fica em loop (reiniciando) e não envia a mensagem.

Alguma dica?

unauthenticated despite using session : true

I used this method to use session saver, recently it keeps failing and generating new qr and the new qr code can't be scanned

wbm.start({showBrowser: false, qrCodeData: true, session: true})
.then(async qrCodeData => {
console.log(qrCodeData);
await wbm.waitQRCode();
// ...
await wbm.end();
} ).catch(err => { console.log(err); });

Send to all contacts

How to send to all my contacts at once?
It is possible?

Need help with posting output to browser instead of console

Hi,
How to use it for multiple account on same server? Is there any solution?

Also Can anybody help me with the sample code for setting it on server for browser output i have tried many ways but it didn't work?

app.get('/myQR', (req, res) => {
wbm.start({showBrowser: false, qrCodeData: false, session: true}).then(async () => {
res.send(<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <script> ${wbm.generateQRCode()}; </script> </body> </html>);
await wbm.end();
}).catch(err => console.log(err));
})

I tried using express also but not working.

Send message "Failed". Error msg details

Is it possible to check details when send message fails? Current console message is not very helpful since you do not know why it failed.

Not working when application is hosted

The web application I made using wbm was working locally. But when I hosted on heroku it is not working.

Message sent successfully in logs but not received

Message sent successfully in logs but not received.
I also checked in the phone app and there is no message sent.

How can I send files along with text?

I used your technique, and now I can send texts. How do I send attachments of files?
What is the format or structure of the attachment parameter in the WhatsApp Web URL? Is it a separate URL, a file path, or some other format?
Are there any alternative methods or libraries within the Puppeteer ecosystem that can simplify the process of attaching files to WhatsApp message

i want the qr code on my front end app how do i do that ?

i want the qr code on my app so user can connect to WhatsApp

Package not working when the application is hosted

I am using the package in my project. I hosted the web application on Heroku. But it doesn't work.

Enter button is not working after sending message to first contact

Hi,
I'm using version 1.1.16
Node version v11.12.0
Mac os big surr 11.2.1

Message sent successfully in logs but not showing in app. just first contact get the message.
I open the browser (showBrowser:true), I see the message initialisation for second contact and onwards but send button in not clicking

I check SEND_BUTTON in node_modules/wbm/src/api.js
SEND_BUTTON: 'div:nth-child(2) > button > span[data-icon="send"]'

I also try with delay page.waitFor(5000) but not working

Do you have any plan to give a web interface to scan QR code and select mobile number csv

New Feature Request - Do you have any plan to give a web interface to scan QR code and select mobile number csv, amd message input. with Images.

I can not send messages

I try to send messages to the default number, could you help me please

Sessions

It would be nice to be able to log in through QR once and then reuse the session.
A similar solution is used in pedroslopez/whatsapp-web.js

It’s also good to be able to use multiple sessions at the same time.

Is this possible now?

Receive Messages

Possible?

Mesagge is only sending when showBrowser is set to true

add random interval for sending message

I got banned for sending to more than 20 contacts. lol.
I thought it because of the interval for every message seems to fast.

so I add randomInt() function
and replace line 154 with:

await page.waitFor((6 * getRandomInt(1, 3)) * 10000);

so the msg would be sent randomly between 1-3 minutes.
I think it will be good feature if you want to add it as an option.

just my two cents 😃

the randomInt() function

function getRandomInt(min, max) {
    min = Math.ceil(min);
    max = Math.floor(max);
    return Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min)) + min;
 }

limite msgs

What limit of messages sent per day?

QR-Code generated but not scanning by WhatsApp

I am trying to do this in ubuntu-server.. QR-code generated but not scanning by whatsapp.

message didn't broadcast to clients

I was using the standard sample template given in the README , even after the message was send succesfully (message sent in the terminal) my client didn't recieve any message.

waitFor is deprecated and will be removed in a future release

waitFor is deprecated and will be removed in a future release

Session not saving

Requiring me to re-authenticate through QR code every message sent. Already tried turning session argument to false, then back to true; did not work. Also reinstalled dependency. Application currently hosted on Amazon AWS EC2 Instance.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Error !

hello,
when i try to install wbm it shows me this error :

wbm.start({showBrowser: false, qrCodeData: true, session: false})
.then(async qrCodeData => {

await wbm.end();
})
})

Can you help me the method for this?

Send message in interval

Hi I am trying to send messages to all the contacts after specified interval of time. But as soon I add setInterval in then block send is failing

Sending Voice Messages

Dear Briuor,

Please advise if your npm wbm package sends automated voice notes. I successfully tested the message sending.

Thanks ahead,
