Hey thereee!
I’ve been working on something I couldn’t find anywhere else for TastyIgniter, so I built it from scratch: a fully self-hosted WhatsApp integration using OpenWA so it can automatically send whatsapp messages using ti-ext-automation as interpreter for its event triggers.
### What it does?
Sends automated WhatsApp messages on order events (order placed, status changed, etc.) and same as the email automation system, but on WhatsApp.
Works through TastyIgniter’s Automation Rules-just create a rule, pick “Send WhatsApp Message” as the action, write your template and you’re done.
Full support for template variables: {{customer_name}}, {{order_id}}, {{order_total}}, {{order_status}}, {{order_items}} and many more
### What is working so far for now:
- Built-in admin dashboard
- Live connection status & QR scanner
- Session management (create/start/select)
- Test message sender
- Full diagnostic console for debugging
- Message log with sent/failed history
- ti-ext-automation integration for auto-message
- Every order status event triggered works flawless
For now im using OpenWA 0.7.3 via a docker image on a vps, willing to try on a simple ssh hosting.
Any advice?
Little roadmap before it’s public release
- Reservation events support (already wired, needs testing)
- Media messages (send order receipt image)
- Webhook receiver (incoming WhatsApp messages -> TastyIgniter)
- Packagist release
