Note, your message which is currently stuck would not come back.
Whatsapp needs to do a retry to fetch the message sometimes, so we need to keep a small cache so it knows which message belongs to which key.
Hi, first of all: Thanks for the app. It is really cool!
No idea if this was already asked, but: Is there a way to get reactions to messages? I mean someone reacts on a message with a heart, for example. Would there be a way to get this information?
I tried to see the Tags that come with the “Message received” flow trigger, but i do not see any useful information.
Since last month, the app hasn’t been working for me. The connection dropped again. I tried using the ‘Repair’ feature, but I keep getting an error message saying: ‘Cannot pair device, please check if the phone number on your device is correct or request a new code.’ I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app (both the test version and v1.39.2), but the error remains the same. I have sent a diagnostic report. (20a1c926-65ba-4aa8-91d9-719dfe5e647e)
strange but it is fixed after the restart of the app. My phone got a message for new pair in the whatsapp busniss. No repair but made a new connection.Thnx anyways.
I am trying to create a flow where it sends a dynamic Google Maps link to Whatsapp but that doesn’t work.
I am using a Homeyscript actually, but it doesnt send any dynamic result.
The IF card is a flat text P2000 text:
As example; Fire, Street 13, City
I was trying to send the Street 13 and City only to my Whatsapp with a Google maps link and after the “?query=” this address.
