Hey @Deadlifter  
You could maybe use something like this [JSON Handler App for Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/en-nl/app/nl.qluster-it.JsonHandler/JSON-Handler/)

Then you can add the number to a list and later on when a message is received check that again.

I don’t have something like that in the WhatsApp and don’t think it fits within the app.

So I would recommend search for apps on homey which can create a list of data based on a flow card

@Helmut_Willems I don’t see anything which is causing that error.

Did you paste the full share link in the recipient field?

Hi Martijn, it already works for me it seems that the group link was changed by whatsapp they removed the - caracter which was in my grouplink variable I had setup earlier.

So the - before HE was removed by Whatsapp this could be the issue with others aswell.

I also made it smarter to put it in one flow instead of putting it in each flow separate, if somethings breaks down you only have to change this flow and nothing else.

After (re)installing the app (the app dissapeared suddenly), I am unable to add a WhatsApp device.

@Sander_Muurmans the report is completely empty.  
Already tried a homey restart? Looks more like a homey issue

I use your app with full satisfaction for sending camera snapshots at the frontdoor to my households phones.

Lat few months however I run into an issue that the connection between homey and whatsapp randomly loses connection. After restarting the app, the problem is usually solved. This happens now every 1-7 days and I need to restart the app.

Any idea what the cause might be? Could it be the app or Homey itself?

@Joram Please send a diagnostic report when that occurs. Do you also use this whatsapp number on other devices, if not make sure to use it every once in a while. Because whatsapp web will be logged out if you’re not using the native app anymore
