FAQPage Schema
How do I send WhatsApp messages through command-based interactions?

You can send WhatsApp messages by executing a predefined command that targets a specific contact or group. The command-based interaction processes your text input and routes the message through a connected WhatsApp bridge to the recipient.

Can I retrieve and read messages from a specific WhatsApp contact or group?

Yes, you can read WhatsApp messages by issuing an action-based command to fetch recent chat history. The bridge retrieves messages from the specified contact or group and returns them directly to your interface for review.

Do I need a running WhatsApp bridge to use this message management functionality?

Yes, you must have a running WhatsApp bridge deployed and connected. The messaging commands depend entirely on this bridge infrastructure, which requires initial authorization via a QR code to link your account.

How do I search for contacts to manage my WhatsApp group communication?

You can search for WhatsApp contacts by executing a predefined search command within the interface. The bridge queries your connected account's directory and returns matching contact entries to streamline your message targeting.

What are the limitations of using a custom bridge for contact messaging?

Using a custom bridge for WhatsApp contact messaging requires continuous bridge uptime and active QR code authorization. If the bridge disconnects or the session expires, command-based message sending and reading will fail until reconnection.
