Send, receive, auto-reply, and inspect WhatsApp messages over **Twilio** or your personal **WhatsApp Web** session. Ships with a one-command webhook setup (Tailscale Funnel + Twilio callback) and a configurable auto-reply engine (plain text or command/Claude driven).
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Start (5 steps)
|
||||
1) Prereqs: Node 22+, `pnpm`, a Twilio account with a WhatsApp-enabled number; Tailscale optional for webhooks.
|
||||
2) Install deps: `pnpm install`
|
||||
3) Copy `.env.example` → `.env`; set `TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID`, `TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN` **or** `TWILIO_API_KEY`/`TWILIO_API_SECRET`, and `TWILIO_WHATSAPP_FROM=whatsapp:+15551234567` (plus optional `TWILIO_SENDER_SID`).
|
||||
4) Send a test: `pnpm warelay send --to +12345550000 --message "Hi from warelay"`
|
||||
5) Choose how to receive replies:
|
||||
- Polling (no ingress): `pnpm warelay relay --provider twilio --interval 5 --lookback 10`
|
||||
- Webhook (automatic): `pnpm warelay up --port 42873 --path /webhook/whatsapp --verbose`
|
||||
- Personal WhatsApp (no Twilio): `pnpm warelay web:login` then `pnpm warelay send --provider web ...`
|
||||
## Quick Start (pick your engine)
|
||||
Install from npm (global): `npm install -g warelay` (Node 22+). Then choose **one** path:
|
||||
|
||||
**A) Personal WhatsApp Web (preferred: no Twilio creds, fastest setup)**
|
||||
1. Link your account: `warelay web:login` (scan the QR).
|
||||
2. Send a message: `warelay send --provider web --to +12345550000 --message "Hi from warelay"`.
|
||||
3. Stay online & auto-reply: `warelay relay --provider web --verbose`.
|
||||
|
||||
**B) Twilio WhatsApp number (for delivery status + webhooks)**
|
||||
1. Copy `.env.example` → `.env`; set `TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID`, `TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN` **or** `TWILIO_API_KEY`/`TWILIO_API_SECRET`, and `TWILIO_WHATSAPP_FROM=whatsapp:+15551234567` (optional `TWILIO_SENDER_SID`).
|
||||
2. Send a message: `warelay send --to +12345550000 --message "Hi from warelay"`.
|
||||
3. Receive replies:
|
||||
- Polling (no ingress): `warelay relay --provider twilio --interval 5 --lookback 10`
|
||||
- Webhook + public URL via Tailscale Funnel: `warelay up --port 42873 --path /webhook/whatsapp --verbose`
|
||||
|
||||
> Already developing locally? You can still run `pnpm install` and `pnpm warelay ...` from the repo, but end users only need the npm package.
|
||||
|
||||
## Main Features
|
||||
- **Two providers:** Twilio (default) for reliable delivery + status; Web provider for quick personal sends/receives via QR login.
