Support for WhatsApp Business Catalog Integration #1112

Open Qasim637 opened 3 weeks ago

Qasim637 commented 3 weeks ago

Hi Baileys team! I’d like to request support for integrating WhatsApp Business catalog management features into the Baileys library. This would enable businesses to automatically synchronize their product inventory from their POS systems or e-commerce platforms directly with WhatsApp Business catalogs.

Context: Many small and medium-sized businesses use WhatsApp Business to connect with customers and showcase their products directly on WhatsApp. The WhatsApp Business catalog is a key feature for these businesses, as it lets customers view and browse products directly within the app.

Currently, however, updating this catalog requires businesses to upload products manually. For those who already manage an online store or POS system, this means duplicating their work—first on their main platform (website or POS) and then on WhatsApp Business. Automation in this area could save time, reduce errors, and ensure consistent information across all platforms.

You are wanting too much, it's an unofficial API which basic features will probably break on next years, complex features are doomed to break very before those years, that's if the Baileys developer manage to do that the solution would last at maximum 3 weeks before break completly needing redesign all reverse engeenering for such feature again.
