[NV-782] - WhatsApp Provider #1019

Closed escobar5 closed 4 months ago

escobar5 commented 2 years ago

What?

It would be nice to have a provider to send WhatsApp notifications

Why?

WhatsApp is being currently used in many use cases to notify users about deliveries, app updates, etc.

How?

Integrating WhatsApp for Business API. The difficult part, I think, may be the WhatsApp enterprise onboarding, after that, integrating the API is simpler. Another option would be Twillio Messaging for WhatsApp.

yes, let me check the code first

@scopsy & maintainers can i work on this issue for Hacktoberfest 2022? So can it be assigned to me?

escobar5 commented 1 year ago

@oba2311, @scopsy, I'm now creating the WhatsApp Provider using WhatsApp Business API, I have a question though, there's an IChatOptions interface, I first thought as WhatsApp is a chat application I may use this, but it doesn't have a to property, maybe ISmsOptions may be a better option, it does have the to property and also attachments. What do you think?

scopsy commented 1 year ago

I think that IChatOptions is the way to go, tho I think we should extend to also work with the to field for a phone number. We would need to do a conditional in the send-chat-message.usecase, so depending on provider we either use the to field or the webhook URL.

What do you think about this approach @escobar5 ?

escobar5 commented 1 year ago

Yes, sounds good, @scopsy can you assign this to me, so I continue working on it?

scopsy commented 1 year ago

@escobar5 do you still want to take a look at this?

inglesuniversal commented 1 year ago

Really hope this feature is implemented as planned

@escobar5 are you working on this?

Hi, no, not working on it, I was awaiting for confirmation from maintainers, but now I have no availability unfortunately

antoniodinovi commented 1 year ago

I did a simple implementation using the whatsapp business api here #3575 , is still in draft and can be improved. Any opinion on that ?

bitpickle commented 7 months ago

I was wondering if it would be possible to use a webhook provider (email, for example) to tap into an api integrated with VenomBot.

The api will handle all the whatsapp part, novu just needs to deliver the message via webhook.

I'll test it and bring you news.
