A simple nodejs bot for Maytapi WhatsApp Api

Our WebsiteWhatsApp Api DocumentationsWhatsApp Api Postman Collection

  • In this example we echo the text messages back to user.
  • We use ngrok to create temporary https reverse proxy so whatsapp can reach our demo api.
  • Because ngrok public url changes everytime we also change webhook settings in our account at boot. This should not be used like this in production environments.
  • NOTE: Before testing the demo you need to create your phone instance and connect an active WhatsApp account to instance in Phones Page.
