Hi all, good afternoon from Indonesia.

i want to know if any method or extension that can connect us to whatsApp (switching and send).
i already trying some of extension and the activity starter method but it seems like it doesnt switching into WA and stay in the apps. i try to put the notifier if whatsapp not installed, and it appear as the pop-up message when i click the button (i am using my own phone and already had a WA).

Our project kinda simple, we create some environment to auto calculate (using math block) for what happen inside our day-to-day operation in our factory. we used label and joint block to summarize all my calculation with objective to send it as a chat report into my WA group.

Can you help me out, please? I'm looking forward to your reply.

Hi sir, thank you for your reply.

  1. What if i dont need to send for specific number? Cz i want to share it into WhatsApp group. Is it possible?

  2. From your block it seems like greeting message that we can type it manually in the first block, how about that i want to send spesific textblock that i already had in our apps.

Thank you so much.

Sorry, I picked that sample out of the FAQ list I linked in the very next post in that thread.

If you search this board for WhatsApp and you find a better post, I can add it to the FAQ.

I personally have never used WhatsApp and have never coded to any of its APIs.

addendum: I peeked at Whatsapp APIs, and found myself mired in

This all requires a lot of server setup, from what I see.

That old AI2 post might be just a side door, no longer open.

Unfortunately we do not know what you tried... do you want to elaborate? What about showing some blocks?
