I followed all the steps in the tutorial section and I was able to send messages, but my webhook endpoint was not verified. I've tried many ways, and the only way that works is using Glitch, as recommended in the API documentation. Do you know any solution that could solve my issue?

https://github.com/tawn33y/whatsapp-cloud-api/blob/dd73985e97539dd70f4eb74ee256eef63dda2062/src/startExpressServer.ts#L71

Where on the api can i get the name of the sender, When i check the from key it only has cellNumber of the sender but no name

bot.on('message', async (msg) => { console.log(msg.from.name); //undefined console.log(msg.from); //+27xxxxxxxxxx }

Greetings,

My MERN SAAS app where I'm using this module on the backend nodejs is getting completed. But now I'm not sure on how the backend nodejs is going to handle multiple users with different [ phone numbers, WhatsApp API tokens, etc. ]. are going to use the SAAS platform, Because the module needs the tokens at start-up time and keeps them in memory throughout.

What architecture approach do you suggest that I can use to easily handle this situation? any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Hello, i just followed the tutorial steps and i have this response after step 2

{ error: { message: '(#131000) Generic error', type: 'OAuthException', code: 131000, error_data: { messaging_product: 'whatsapp', details: 'Generic error' }, error_subcode: 2494002, fbtrace_id: 'AC1dtC9ImEGwkBiss2Xt0mA' } }

I could make it work using Postman.

Hello, I have a question when I send a list of options (list_reply) and the user enters an "account status" option and then enters the document number. How do I get that value going through the previous validations again?

Unsupported post request. Object with ID 'XXXXXXXXX' does not exist, cannot be loaded due to missing permissions, or does not support this operation. Please read the Graph API documentation at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api

Object with ID is YOUR_WHATSAPP_BUSINESS_ACCOUNT_ID

I do not know how to do it

let sections = [{
            "title": "Afternoon slots",
            "rows": [{"id": "1",
                    "title": "13:00",
                    "description": "Collection: Crouch End Bakery"
                },
                {"id": "2",
                    "title": "13:30",
                    "description": "Collection: Hampstead Bakery"
                },
                {"id": "3",
                    "title": "13:00",
                    "description": "Collection: Hampstead Bakery"
                }
            ]
        },
        {
            "title": "Evening slots",
            "rows": [{"id": "4",
                    "title": "18:00",
                    "description": "Collection: Crouch End Bakery"
                },
                {"id": "5",
                    "title": "18:30",
                    "description": "Collection: Hampstead Bakery"
                },
                {"id": "6",
                    "title": "17:00",
                    "description": "Collection: Crouch End Bakery"
                }
            ]
        }
    ];
const result4 = await bot.sendList(to, 'asdf', 'fdsa', sections, '');

what is the mistake?

Nice work. I was wondering, any plans to add Deno support? Similar to grammY maybe? Can see an example here: https://github.com/grammyjs/examples/blob/main/supabase-edge-functions/supabase/functions/telegram-bot/index.ts

This PR adds gulp and a couple of its plugins to automate some of the tasks specified in package.json You can then have the option of adding further tasks and compilation options without changing much of what is in the package.jsin file

I have disabled the test task for now as several tests are failing at the moment

Some tests currently fail with no error and just throws an empty string, unless you use a try-catch statement. Need to fix this in the main code, but for now, can simply add a try-catch in the tests to know why the test failed.

e.g.

for(let i=0;i<2;i++){ const result = await bot.sendTemplate(to[i], 'charge_alert', 'en_US', [ { "type": "body", "parameters": [{ "type": "text", "text": {me} }, { "type": "text", "text": {friend} }, { "type": "text", "text": {msg}

                    }
             ]
   }
])

}

} catch (err) { console.log(err); }

#All works fine except when variable are passed it does't work

Hi, I'm starting the following:

const { createBot } = require('whatsapp-cloud-api'); const axios = require('axios'); const express = require('express');

const app = express();

const from = process.env.WHATSAPP_PHONE_NUMBER_ID; const token = process.env.WHATSAPP_TOKEN; const webhookVerifyToken = process.env.VERIFY_TOKEN;

// Create a bot that can send messages const bot = createBot(from, token); (async function() { await bot.startExpressServer({ webhookVerifyToken: process.env.VERIFY_TOKEN, port: process.env.PORT || 2040, webhookPath: /webhook, }); })();

app.get('/hello', (req, res) => { res.send('Hello World!') }) but when consulting the /hello route it gives me 404 as a result, is there an error with the route handler? thank you

Hi Everyone, currently Im trying to receive "Received your text message!" that the bot sends when receives a message.

Right now I'm receiving start message when I start the server. But when trying to send the message, I got this output.

Right now My code is this ->

` const { createBot } = require('whatsapp-cloud-api');

(async () => { try { // replace the values below const from = ""; const token = ""; const to = ""; // const to = "524426581099"; const webhookVerifyToken = "";

// Create a bot that can send messages
const bot = createBot(from, token);

// Send text message
const result = await bot.sendText(to, "Hello world");

// Start express server to listen for incoming messages
// NOTE: See below under `Documentation/Tutorial` to learn how
// you can verify the webhook URL and make the server publicly available
await bot.startExpressServer({
  webhookVerifyToken,
});

// Listen to ALL incoming messages
// NOTE: remember to always run: await bot.startExpressServer() first
bot.on("message", async (msg) => {
  console.log(msg);

  if (msg.type === "text") {
    await bot.sendText(msg.from, "Received your text message!");
  } else if (msg.type === "image") {
    await bot.sendText(msg.from, "Received your image!");
  }
});

} catch (err) { console.log(err); } })(); `

i am able to successfully SendText and SendVideo, however bot.sendSticker, using the url of a webp file fails:

try{ await bot.sendSticker(from, msgUrl); console.log(sticker sent); res.status(200).send('Sticker Sent'); }catch(err){ console.log(get/sendsticker error:,err); res.status(200).send({message:'Error sending Sticker',"to":from,"text":msgText}); }

Results: no error is thrown, "sticker sent" displayed, but the sticker is not sent to my whatsapp ....

• Added 'Status' types increateBot.types.ts according to https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/webhooks/components
• Changed on callback parameter to also accept Status
• Will now publish 'status' and '<status-type>' to PubSub when receiving only status
• Add new tests to also test for the statuses.

• In addition, also added the log() function to console.log to a log.txt in root directory for debugging purposes (can be removed)

Hello, I tried to clone this repository to work on adding the status feature. But i cannot seem to get npm t running.

I tried using various webhook_path but it seem to keep getting 403 (forbidden) Here is my webhook path

WEBHOOK_PATH="http://localhost:3000/webhook/whatsapp"

I also tried manually using rest api

GET http://localhost:3000/webhook/whatsapp?hub.mode=subscribe&hub.challenge=random&hub.verify_token=41ESBjuy5E

But gets 403 Forbidden instead.

I am running on Windows 10.

I also want to know what WEBHOOK_PATH do you use?
