Build AI WhatsApp Bots with Pure Python

python-whatsapp-bot's Issues

Send WhatsApp message to any number

In whatsapp_utils.py module the function process_whatsapp_message(body) gets the wa_id parameter, but in line 92 we sent the response to the hardcoded environment parameter "RECIPIENT_WAID".

In order to answer to any number that send us a message, get_text_message_input(current_app.config["RECIPIENT_WAID"], response) should change to get_text_message_input(wa_id, response)?

Or is there another way to respond to any number?

Update views.py

views.py

Change the end to the following. I commented out the original code and got the verification to work. I was getting a 403 error before.

@webhook_blueprint.route("/webhook", methods=["GET"])
def webhook_get():
return verify()

@webhook_blueprint.route("/webhook", methods=["POST"])
@signature_required
def webhook_post():
return handle_message()
"""
@webhook_blueprint.route("/webhook", methods=["POST", "GET"])
@signature_required
def webhook():
if request.method == "GET":
return verify()
elif request.method == "POST":
return handle_message()
"""

Programmatically define `assistant_id` instead of hard coding its value in `run_assistant` function

The code in assistants_quickstart.py will fail to run unless you programmatically define the assistant_id.

i.e. line 94 goes from this:
assistant = client.beta.assistants.retrieve("asst_7Wx2nQwoPWSf710jrdWTDlfE")

to this:
assistant = client.beta.assistants.retrieve(assistant.id)

Bot responsável por responder mensagem automaticamente com a mensagem " Olá, está é uma mensagem automática, Milena responderá em breve".

Deploy to Production

Any advice on how to deploy the app to production? It's my first time deploying a web app, and i'm having trouble on how to run both the run.py file and the webhook command ngrok http --domain=your-domain.ngrok-free.app 8000. Any hosting service recommendation/tutorial?

whatsapp_utils.py

Comment out line 86 since this is for future. The program fails with this in it.

Limit access?

Love this project! Though, before I dive in: any way to limit access to the bot? I'd like to set it up for personal use/testing and obviously don't want to bear the costs of the whole world chatting with it 😁
Also would be nice to set a threshold on costs, let's say if above 100 Dollar/month warn and above 150 disable access.

Paid ngrok needed for this project?

I've been following the instructions up until the ngrok section and noticed that a Pro or Enterprise tier is required to proceed. I've only used the free tier so far. Is there a way to use that to proceed? If not, might be a good idea to write in the requirements that a paid subscription is required to proceed. Thanks for a great video & repo, keep up the good work!
