# wacli
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Use `wacli` only when the user explicitly asks you to message someone else on WhatsApp or when they ask to sync/search WhatsApp history.
|
|||
|
|
Do NOT use `wacli` for normal user chats; OpenClaw routes WhatsApp conversations automatically.
|
|||
|
|
If the user is chatting with you on WhatsApp, you should not reach for this tool unless they ask you to contact a third party.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Safety
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Require explicit recipient + message text.
|
|||
|
|
- Confirm recipient + message before sending.
|
|||
|
|
- If anything is ambiguous, ask a clarifying question.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Auth + sync
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- `wacli auth` (QR login + initial sync)
|
|||
|
|
- `wacli sync --follow` (continuous sync)
|
|||
|
|
- `wacli doctor`
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Find chats + messages
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- `wacli chats list --limit 20 --query "name or number"`
|
|||
|
|
- `wacli messages search "query" --limit 20 --chat <jid>`
|
|||
|
|
- `wacli messages search "invoice" --after 2025-01-01 --before 2025-12-31`
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
History backfill
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- `wacli history backfill --chat <jid> --requests 2 --count 50`
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Send
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Text: `wacli send text --to "+14155551212" --message "Hello! Are you free at 3pm?"`
|
|||
|
|
- Group: `wacli send text --to "1234567890-123456789@g.us" --message "Running 5 min late."`
|
|||
|
|
- File: `wacli send file --to "+14155551212" --file /path/agenda.pdf --caption "Agenda"`
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Notes
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Store dir: `~/.wacli` (override with `--store`).
|
|||
|
|
- Use `--json` for machine-readable output when parsing.
|
|||
|
|
- Backfill requires your phone online; results are best-effort.
|
|||
|
|
- WhatsApp CLI is not needed for routine user chats; it’s for messaging other people.
|
|||
|
|
- JIDs: direct chats look like `<number>@s.whatsapp.net`; groups look like `<id>@g.us` (use `wacli chats list` to find).
