Yeah this happens sometimes, could you try reloading the page and scanning again? Also while it shows “will retry again” go in create message and try testing out a message. I have seen it work like that for some people.
Hi Manan,
When I scan the QR code, nothing happens. It shows a QR code with lot of characters. What should I do next? OR what should be happening when I scan the QR code?
Ok. Got it. I have to scan this QR code using the Whatsapp Web from Whatsapp on phone. Thanks! Its working now.
Perfect! Where are you located?
I just want to understand all the countries this worked in.
I am in Malaysia. I have another question. When I log in through whatsapp web to this tool, do I have to be logged in to this tool through Whatsapp all the time in order for this to work?
Wow you are in a safe place between this pandemic!
Yes. You will not be able to use Whatsapp web if you want to use this. Whatsapp allows only 1 device at a time on Whatsapp web.
Yes, it’s bit safe for now. So, for the app to work, I have to be logged into this tool through Whatsapp Web all the time? What will happen if I am not logged in, and some user uses the app like your app. Will they not receive the notification?
Yes exactly. They will receive the message later when you login again on the tool. In my case, I have a business number which is always logged into the tool and I don’t use it on whatsapp web elsewhere.
Ok. Got it. Thanks for the help. This is awesome.
Is there a way to send message to a user when the user fills the form on the app, and at the same time, I as the owner of the app also get a message notification on Whatsapp?
Ok. Got it. I added another line of code with the API URL with my mobile number, and each time, it sends a message to me as well.
Thanks for your answer. I made a new message in the messageautosender and it arrived. However, it does not work with the app yet. After the reload there is still Will retry again… Probably works, otherwise I wouldn’t have received a message. I inserted the script and created the trigger. And in the Google Sheet the message appears: Sent. I do not know what to do… xD
(One more little info, in the Google Sheet does not show me the timestamp of the received data. Maybe this gives you an idea.)
Hi Manan, very cool tool!
Is there a way to send a “broadcast” to a list using this script?
Yes there is but it’s something that’s not recommended because it could lead to your number being blocked if a lot of your receivers report/block your number.
I suppose the phone needs to stay connected to the internet to enable the sending of messages?
Correct
@Manan_Mehta This sounds very cool, and definitely a feature I would love to have on my apps. However, I tried the https://whatsapp.glideapp.io/ and didn’t work. Is this still supposed to work?
If so, I would be interested in getting your professional help on this
Nice!
The automation on my app is shut currently so you wouldn’t receive the whatsapp message. If somebody wants to test it out, you can DM me.
Do you know a way to send multi messages on whatsapp to contacts in glide app?
