Anyway I could send message to new number(Unsaved contact) about sulla

[andretasty]

I'm trying to find another solution. If i found, i will post here

[vasani-arpit]

Does your ${num} include country code?

[amajai]

@vasani-arpit yes it does

[andretasty]

Any result on it?

[amajai]

@andretasty Nope, still having the problem

[vasani-arpit]

Just tested it. Works fine. Are you sure your receiver is a registered WA user?

[amajai]

@vasani-arpit yes I just tried it again and it didn't work. The receiver is registered in WhatsApp and it is also shown on 'select contact' section that the number is valid. However, I didn't use the WAPI class. How do I use it, it might make a difference.

[andretasty]

I cant send. a tried many numbers, but without success

[andretasty]

@amajai did you tested with WAPI class?

[amajai]

@andretasty I don't know how to use it. Was hoping for @vansani-arpit to explain how

[vasani-arpit]

@amajai @andretasty

As you know the underlying library which us being used is wapi.js (which I use in my wbot repo as well). I am yet to explore TypeScript so I prefer same old JS debugging.

In which I'd run web.whatsapp in normal chrome and inject wapi.js using snippet in DevTools. Once it is injected I can use the functions it provides like wapi.sendMessage2 which is being used by this library but via TypeScript.

Now, you can do all this programmatically, that's what exactly sulla does.

When i try to send a message to new chat, and give a console.log on sendText, node give me this line: Promise { }. What is this?

[vasani-arpit]

It is returning a promise. You need to add .then() and .catch() to get the result when it completes. for more you can check https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise

[andretasty]

is that the problem? Every time that i need to send a message, before i need to open a chat to the contact receive. here is my actual code

// import { create, Whatsapp } from 'sulla';
const sulla = require('sulla');
const express = require('express');

const app = express();

sulla.create().then(client => start(client));

function start(client) {
app.get("/:numero/:msg/", function(req, res){
      client.sendText(req.params.numero + '@c.us',req.params.msg);
      res.sendFile(__dirname + '/html/index.html');
      })
}
app.listen(8090, function(){
      console.log("servidor rodando");
  });

[vasani-arpit]

Keep express aside for the testing purpose and try this

const sulla = require('sulla');
const numero = '12345678900'

sulla.create().then(client => start(client));

function start(client) {
      client.sendText(numero+'@c.us', '👋 Hello from sulla!');
}

If this works then you can think about adding express. If it doesn't then there is something wrong with sulla.

[andretasty]

Still doesn't work :/. Sulla only sends message when the contact is in chat tab

[vasani-arpit]

There could be something wrong with sulla. You can use original one or modify wbot

[vasani-arpit]

On second thought. If you can change this line to sendMessage2 then it could work.

[amajai]

Interesting solution. Will try changing the line first. If it doesn't work out, I'll try the wbot since I'm struggling to make the original work for me.

[andretasty]

When i inject wapi.js on web.whatsapp, i get false response when the chat isn't started.

[amajai]

@vasani-arpit Unfortunately, changing it to sendMessage2 didn't make a difference. I'm guessing same will happen with wbot since the underlying library is wapi.js. Oh well, looks like its not possible after all. Thanks for the help though.

[amajai]

@andretasty Much appreciated you can. I'll do the same as well.

[austonpramodh]

found any solutions?

Did any one find solution for this? I am getting ReferenceError: WAPI is not defined error message.

Plase update to new version

To send a message to a contact (non-group) just type the number

client.sendText('[email protected]', 'Direct message');

On a regular message received do a console.log(message) to and check the from property
