Hi Martijn, great App!

one small thing: if I put a group link into a Homey tag (text) and try to send a message via that tag, it doesn’t send out the message, while with the group link directly in the message it works fine. Looks like the tag content doesn’t processed properly. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hey @Bert_Wissink  
Yes saw that before make sure there are no spaces in the input field or tag.

I will make a fix that all spaces will be removed but that happened to me as well

Hi,  
got a little problem this error: Could not get group ID. Is the group link correct?  
The link is 100% correct what can i do?

7a9eaa8f-f32e-405f-b876-2c32a37b0a30 or with email 6d52e0f6-b9e8-404f-87df-d99ead7b42ec

Best regards,  
Bram

update in NL even: het werkt weer wat heb ik gedaan.  
1e test versie geinstalleerd geen oplossing.  
2e ombouwen naar simple flow, had alles in advanced flow wist zo even niet of een delay via advanced flow hetzelfde is als een delay op de kaart. Zelfde error  
3e de groepslink in een variabele tekst gezet. En in de kaart verwezen naar de variabele en het werkt.  
4e test, delay weg gehaald werkt het sporadisch dus de delay er weer ingezet.

@kaismn correct only mobile. Also whatsapp will block you eventually for using a landline 😉

Could it still be fixed that a landline number is not rejected in principle?

@kaismn for now no  
Theres a check for all countries with mobile numbers.  
So then i have to add checks for all landline phone numbers per country. Which will take quite some time 😉

@PieterDCK you don’t get notifications from messages you send form your own number. So you need to use another number if you want to receive notifications. That’s how WhatsApp works

Message queueing with a built in delay can also be done with Advanced Triggers. Maybe a little more complicated to learn, but more flexible.

Example:
