whatsapp-responder

A simple script which automatically responds to new WhatsApp messages

Current functions:

• send a "I use Signal" message everytime a new message received

Story behind

I dont use WhatsApp and don't like it so i wrote this simple script which is a copypasta from whatsapp-web.js docs to answer with a "I use Signal" message everytime a new message is received.

Setup

• clone project
• install dependencies using npm i
• start script using npm start
• authenticate using the qr code which is displayed in the shell

To run the script without interruption on a server or a Raspberry Pi, simply install pm2 and

• start script using pm2 start npm --name "WhatsApp responder" -- start
• stop script using pm2 stop "WhatsApp responder"
• remove script from pm2 pm2 remove "WhatsApp responder"
