- Forwards new arrived emails from Gmail to WhatsApp.
It uses Puppeteer to run a real instance of Whatsapp Web to avoid getting blocked.
NOTE: I can't guarantee you will not be blocked by using this method, although it has worked for me and I personally never got blocked. WhatsApp does not allow bots or unofficial clients on their platform, so this shouldn't be considered totally safe.
First of all we have to grab tokens from these three services, Google Cloud Platform, WhatsApp-web, MongoDB.
The procedures are given in WiKi tab.
1. Getting Gmail tokens (client_id, client_secret, refresh_token)
2. Getting WhatsApp web token (wa_token)
3. MongoDB URL (url)
You can deploy it anywhere, all you need is Node.js and a VPS/RDP
Also make sure to add these environment variables:
client_id = '' //Get it from credentials.json
client_secret = '' //Get it from credentials.json
refresh_token = '' //Get it from Generate-Gmail-Token
url = '' //MongoDB url
wa_token = '' //Whatsapp-web token
owner = '' //The person who will receive the email-messages. Ex: 919756xxx890 (including country code but exclude plus sign)
ignore_links = 'true' //true, if you want to ignore agressive hyperlinks. Improves readability.
Important note for heroku users:
Make sure to go to the deployed application's Resources tab and disable the web and enable the worker.
There are only two commands:!start and !ping
After the successful deploy you must have to send !start to the bot using the owner's whatsapp.
whatsapp-web.js the bot is completely based on this library.
