WhatsApp native integration
@sapter @vincent Ghost Team @Mav. today or tomorrow I'll try to define stages of WhatsApp native integration with Twenty roadmap in mind, so you could later discuss the implementation details

Just to be clear, it's gonna be an implementation completely done by community but overseen by core team as core team has different features to implement
We can also use the VoIP integration done by @sourcedandsoldtothehighestbidder once PR is prepared and approved by core team

it has to be built ontop of waha
with rotating proxies
Waha?
waha is an opensourced framework to basically to programatic interactions with whatsapp via an unofficial api
you can use baileys but this here is faster to get to prod https://waha.devlike.pro/docs/overview/introduction/
WAHA
📖 Introduction
WAHA - WhatsApp API that you can install on your own server and run in less than 5 minutes!
I think that's gonna be a later stage, messages are more important imo
But like I've said, I'll try to plan stages either today or tomorrow as I'm currently less available than normally

WAHA - WhatsApp HTTP API (REST API) that you can configure in a click! 3 engines: WEBJS (browser based), NOWEB (websocket nodejs), GOWS (websocket go) - devlikeapro/waha
I use it on my own selfhosted instance and it works well for sending and recieving messages
just obviously cannot over do it.
Probably the best timing would be around call recorder feature
Yeah I made a way inside of my crm to basically multipart form upload audio
DRAFT
Stages of integration:
1 - reading all conversations, adding people to Twenty from WhatsApp if they don't exist in Twenty and adding a mechanism for importing newest messages based on webhook
2 - sending WhatsApp messages directly from Twenty
3 - reading files from WhatsApp messages and attaching them to People records
4 - calling WhatsApp people directly in Twenty
5 - recoding the calls, transcribing them and attaching to People records
Would this here be adjusted from the email component for sync
Everything here is more than feasible - I saw in the documentation that many to many relaitons would be good but that's not intergrated yet until Q1 2026
But what I think would be needed is an entry point because if we're able to just have it so that we're able to basically to make it so that there is a sync engine between backend to postgres would make life smooth sailing
If we adjusted the Email component to then adopt it for messaging we could have the custom wa field I spoke with another person who was working on a bailey intergration which is the library itself but I tried intergrating bailey before and it was way too dificult rather than just having a http swagger endpoitn which can be adapted very quickly
Write down anything that is necessary in your opinion and, I'll adjust it, I'll also check more documentation to see what features may be necessary for businesses, it's a draft currently after all
I'd rather implement this in Integrations tab or change the Email tab into Messages tab and add subtabs

Then first stage would be abstracting everything message related but it's already planned for second half of next year as per message here https://discord.com/channels/1130383047699738754/1130383048173682821/1440735022993768599
@Thomas @Prastoin do you think it'd be possible to handle this by community?
Yeah I agree but if we look at it like a service which we then can map and define a swagger rpc so we have a unified interface for updating on the macro level
so all unififed functions
messages
groups
reactions
media
for example reuse components inside of the object structures that are native for example multipart attachmnets that get transformed to the type thats accessed via the api for respective platforms

@bob did you make these here
These are generated dynamically by the engine
I think this is the best place where we can have the entry point for whatsapp and the other stuff
