Bug in Send Message

[SECVESHA]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• [X] I have searched the existing issues

Describe the bug

When I try this code client.sendMessage('NUMBER@c.us', 'hi'), the bot does send the message indeed, but it doesn't send it to the specified number! How do I know this? Because the number I'm trying to send the message to is my own! If it's within message.to or message.from, it sends normally, but when specifying the number directly, it kind of creates a chat with a number that's exactly identical to mine, both in the country code and area code, and sends the message to it! But the message doesn't reach me on my correct number. Why is this happening?

Expected behavior

client.sendMessage('NUMBER@c.us', 'hi')

Steps to Reproduce the Bug or Issue

1 - Try to use client.sendMessage(message.from, 'test') You need to make sure that message.to or message.from is the same number to which we will try to send a message later on.'

2 - If you did that, you probably sent the message correctly! Now, add a console.log(message.from || message.to) and copy the ID.

3 - try to use client.sendMessage('ID-COPIED', 'test')

Don't rely on LOGS because they will indicate that the message was sent... However, when you enter the WhatsApp to which you sent the message, you will see that something went wrong! It sent to a clone number without a profile picture and not to the correct number.

Relevant Code

client.on('message_create', async message => { if (message.fromMe) { if (message.body === '🚚') { const chat = await message.getChat(); await chat.sendStateTyping(); await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 3000)); await client.sendMessage(message.to, entrega); // Sucess console.log(message.to) client.sendMessage('NUMBER1@c.us', entrega) // ProblemW

Best is to describe what you want to achieve as it lacks information to give any solution ? as best way to tackle this is to reply using

message.reply('message');

In any case to send a message to a custom number you need to add country code to the number without + like this

let number = "1234567890"; let country_code = "91" // +91 is country code for India but here its without + let final = country_code+number+"@c.us"; client.sendMessage(final, 'message sent!');

Try this and reply !

For me, the bug was in calling the processAttachments method. Changed the order of the parameters.

Credits to https://github.com/vilsonei, that fix the bug.

Working here:

  var mc = new Store.MediaCollection(chat);
  mc.processAttachments([{ file: mediaBlob }, 1], 1, chat).then(() => {
    var media = mc._models[0]
    media.sendToChat(chat, { caption: caption });
  });

client.getNumberId(phoneNumber) .then((result) => { if (result) { console.log('Number ID:', result); } else { console.log('NO EXIST.'); } }) .catch((error) => { console.error('Error to get Number ID:', error); });

i The problem is actually because I was having errors when sending numbers that contained the number " 9 " as an additional, so a good practice is to always check the numberID and get the serialized returned, after doing this I was able to normally send the messages properly.

I think it's not only because of that. I'm getting the contact the same way (when the number is provided and the chat doesn't exist) and sometimes still failing like you mentioned ("sent" but not really sent). Plus, there's some people reporting the exact same issue for the first time on the discord (some of them mention that this happened to them with captioned document messages but are not sure about this).
