Whatsapp Send

WhatsApp Send

Sending messages via WhatsApp Web (Baileys)

When to use

• "send via whatsapp"
• "write through whatsapp"
• When preferred_channel = WhatsApp in data

Dependencies

• Node.js, @whiskeysockets/baileys
• Active WhatsApp Web session

Paths

How to run

cd $SALES_PATH/whatsapp
node send_whatsapp.js

Recipient configuration

Recipients are hardcoded in the script (RECIPIENTS array):

const RECIPIENTS = [
    { phone: '380XXXXXXXXX', name: 'Bob', row: 3 },
    { phone: '380YYYYYYYYY', name: 'Carol', row: 4 },
    // ...
];

To change -- edit the array in the script.

Message template

const MESSAGE_TEMPLATE = (name) => `Hello, ${name}! This is Ivan from WeLabelData.
...
`;

How it works

1. Connects via Baileys
2. Checks if the number is on WhatsApp (onWhatsApp)
3. If yes -- sends a personalized message
4. 60 sec delay between messages

Check chats

node check_chats.js

Shows recent chats, but NOT the full history.

Limitations (IMPORTANT!)

• Baileys does NOT sync message history
• New incoming messages are visible only in real time
• To check replies -- look at WhatsApp on the phone
• Active session required (QR code on first launch)
• WhatsApp may ban for aggressive sending

Creating a new session

If the session is stale:

cd $SALES_PATH/whatsapp
rm -rf baileys_session
node index.js    # will show QR code
# Scan QR from the phone
